I Want to Be Free (movie version, splice of takes 10, 12 & 13 binaural master not released as such before) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

There′s no joy in my heart, only sorrow
And I'm sad as a man can be
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room
And this room is a prison to me

I look out my window and what do I see
I see a bird way up in a tree
I wanna be free, free, free
I wanna be free, like a bird in the tree


Oh, what good are my eyes, they can′t see you
And my arms, they can't hold me so tight
I have two lips that are yearning
But they're no good to me
′Cause I know I can′t kiss you tonight

I look out my window and what do I see
I see a bird way up in a tree
I wanna be free, free, free
I wanna be free, like the bird in the tree

I wanna be free, like the bird in a tree
(Want to be free)
