a bird with a broken beak
couldn't feed himself
life expired in the heat
I watched an' saw him die
there was nothing I could do
and I thought at the time
this is not gonna be my style
if I die I die with pride
standin' in my leather boots
goin' back to my roots
but first I'm gonna be free
like he was before he broke
his tiny beak on that big big tree
it's not gonna happen to me
I'm gonna take this world
shake it by its dirty roots
tell it what the mornin's like
and the night's gonna be
I'm gonna fly an' be free
gonna show the world my face
bring it to the big screen so
they'll never forget my name
high on the wing I'll be
fly with the eye of an eagle
settle only for the highest fees
dance way up in the sky
I'm on the rise getting there
just one more ride to the sky
'cause for all the power I'm free
I'm not gonna expire in the heat
I'm gonna take this world
shake it by its dirty roots
tell it what the mornin's like
an' the night's gonna be
I'm gonna fly and be... free
