I wanna be free, like the bluebirds flying by me, like the waves out on the blue sea,
If you’re love has to tie me, don’t try me, say good-bye.
I wanna be free, don’t say you love me, say you like me, but when I need you beside me
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me, wooh!
I wanna hold your hand, walk along the sand, laughing in the sun, always having fun.
Doing all those things without any strings to tie me down.
I wanna be free, like the warm September wind, babe, say you’ll always be my friend, babe,
We can make it to the end, babe, again, babe, I’ve gotta say:
I wanna be free, I wanna be free, I wanna be free.
