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 paid for

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  on the wire,

like a drunk  in a midnight choir

don't cry  don't cry

Like a bird free  free
