I feel locked up
And I want to get out
But don’t know where to go
I just want to be free
And do what I please
But where do I go?
To find that place
place, where I can go
To be free
To be free, yessirree,

Just like to be free
On every mountain, every sea
I’m gonna find me a place
To be free

But what can I do?
Right now
How am I to live?
Right now
Can I be happy?
But how can that be?
When the world is so sad.
Oh, I don’t know
Why don’t you tell me how?

To be free
To be free, to be free, to be free
From [bad word] and me
To be free, to be free

Why don’t you help your fellow man?
When he’s down
Why don’t you make a friend?
When you are down
Maybe peace [bad word] When we love one another
And hope that your brother, wants
To be free
To be free, yessirree,

Just like to be free
On every mountain, every sea
I’m gonna find me a place
To be free

Just like a bird
So high in the sky
And so free, when he flies
Or let me go wild
Who seems to be happy
When he’s set free.
When the world is so sad.
Oh, I don’t know
Why don’t you tell me how?

To be free
From all this misery
To be free
Can’t you see
To be free
Don’t let it take me
To be free
Take away my misery
