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, 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 faithfull



Like a bird free

there's a bird free

Like a bird free

there's a bird free



Like a bird free

there's a bird free

Like a bird free

there's 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
