In the Springtime

Oh-ho, yeah, oh-ho, yeah, oh-ho, yeah

In the springtime
You can see nature full and free
High up in the trees
You can hear the birds them singing songs of freedom

Out in the open
Everything there is fresh and clean
Unlike the life I'm here living
All creatures great and small
Living together one and all

I wanna be
The way I wanna be
That is the way I wanna be
Like the birds in the tree, yeah
They're goin'

Singing songs of freedom
Singing songs of freedom

Living in the city
No chains around my feet
But still I am not free
No handcuffs on my hand
But I've got my dignity

I wanna be
The way I wanna be
That is the way I wanna be
Like the birds in the tree, yeah
They're goin'

See as a youth living in the city
Can't get no work, can't get no job
Can't get no money to put in my pocket
I can't get a thing to have of my own

That's why I wanna be free
That's why I wanna be free
Like the bird in the tree
Like the bird in the tree
They're goin'
