Verse 1
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I¼ll fly
As a bird on wings
Bridge 1
What ever happened to the life that we once knew
Can we really live without each other
Where did we loose the touch, that seemed to mean so much
It always made me feel so
Verse 1

It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I¼ll fly
As a bird on wings
Bridge 2
What ever happened to the life that we once knew
Always made me feel so free
