Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it, let it go by.
If I, have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a bird, free
There's a bird, free
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
Don't cry no more, don't cry
It's completed, oh it's finished
It's been paid for
Like a bird free
as a bird free
Like a bird free
as a bird free
Like a bird free
as a bird free
Like a bird free
as a bird free
Like a bird (free) on the wire, (free)
Like a drunk (free) in a midnight choir (free)
Don't cry (free)
Don't cry (free)
Like a bird free (free) free
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it, let it go by.
If I, have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a bird, free
There's a bird, free
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn

Don't cry no more, don't cry
It's completed, oh it's finished

Like a bird free

Like a bird (free) on the wire, (free)
Like a drunk (free) in a midnight choir (free)
Don't cry (free)
Don't cry (free)
Like a bird free (free) free
