Lyrics

Free as a Bird

Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I'll fly

A bird on wings

Whatever happened to the life that we once knew?

Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo doo, doo-doo doo

Whatever happened to the life that we once knew?

Doo-doo hmm hmm hmm

Free as a bird

It's the next best thing to be

Free as a bird

Home, home and dry

Like a homing bird I'll fly

A bird on wings

Whatever happened to

The life that we once knew?

Doo-doo hmm hmm hmm, doo-doo doo

Whatever happened to the life that we once knew?

Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Free as a bird
