Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
Walking to New Orleans---my, my, my
Hey, now, Bird, wouldnt you rather die
Than walk this world when youre born to fly?
If I was the sun, Id look for shade
If I was a bed, I would stay unmade
If I was a river Id run uphill
If you call me you know I will
If you call me you know I will
Ooo, Freedom
Ooo, Liberty
O... Leave me alone
To find my own way home
To find my own way home
Say what I mean and I dont give a damn
I do believe and I am who I am
Hey now Mama come take my hand
Whole lotta shakin all over this land
If I was an eagle Id dress like a duck
Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck
If I get a notion Ill climb this tree
Or chop it down and you cant stop me
Chop it down and you cant stop me
Ooo, Freedom
Ooo, Liberty
O ... leave me alone
To find my own way home
To find my own way home
Went to the well but the water was dry
Dipped my bucket in the clear blue sky
Looked in the bottom and what did I see?
The whole damned world looking back at me
If I was a bottle Id spill for love
Sake of mercy Id kill for love
If I was a liar Id lie for love
Sake of my baby Id die for love
Sake of my baby Id die for love
Ooo Freedom
Ooo Liberty
O... Leave me alone
To find my own way home
To find my own way home
Im gonna find my own way home
