Verse 2:
Oh, I want to be free,
To travel the world on my own,
To live in a rainbow dream,
Without fear of looking strange or rude.
Chorus:
The times are all right for my world of ease,
When will I find, and freedom is so sweet.
Outlaws like you and me.
Verse 3:
And you'll feel the same, when you're out on your own,
You'll be free to roam, free to go where you want to be.
Chorus:
Oh, I want to be free, like a bird in the sky,
A-soaring and singing, with no chains to break.
Bridge:
If I'm feeling sad and low in spirit, don't think too hard. Maybe we both know we should take some time and take our lives and free them of rules and orders. (So) If I take off on my own now would that be okay?
Chorus: (for the last time) Oh, I want to be free. Oh, I want to be free. Oh, I want to be free. Like a bird in the sky. A-soaring and singing with no chains to break.
