C5                   D5     A5
Lucky bird inside a gilded cage
C5                        A5  D5  G5
Golden words spoke by an ancient sage
A5                 E5      A5
Everything you may have in life,
D5                    E5
Still all you hold is dust.

C5            E5            A5
Must I yearn forever to be free?
A5                       E5  A5
Free to climb a tree and ponder-
A5      C5  G5
Free to wander.
C5          E5            A5
There's no desire I hold fonder
A5      D5         F5          C5
Than to be, simple me - to be free.

C5                      D5    A5
How ungrateful is this lucky bird?
C5                          A5 D5  G5
Spurning privilege for one simple word.
A5                       E5     A5
Freedom to stretch these golden wings,
D5                   E5
Freedom to touch the sky.

C5                   E5                A5
Why, some would ask what she wants to be.
A5                   E5  A5
Free to throw away a treasure,
C5         G5
Poor with pleasure,
C5             E5            A5
I'd sacrifice riches beyond measure.

       G5            A5
Just a girl, with a boy.
C5      D5      C5
What a perfect fantasy...
        G5             A5
To find love, to feel joy.
D5    A5     C5
To be really FREE.
