I want to be free by Elvis Presley (original lyrics)

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 the tree.
I want to be free (oh yes),
Free (oh yes),
Free - ee - ee - ee,
I want to be free, like the bird in the tree.

What good are my eyes, they can't see you.
And my arms, they can't hold 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 at window and what do I see?
I see a bird way up in the tree.
I want to be free (oh yes),
Free (oh yes),
Free - ee - ee - ee,
I want to be free, like the bird in the tree.
I want to be free, like the bird in the tree.
