Free

I keep my lid on tightly
 I dress the part and smile
 But something's stirring underneath
 It's been brewing there a while
 Pacing my halls on tiptoes
 Sitting, I twiddle my thumbs
 Making a break when the bell goes
 How fast can these legs run?
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 I'm tired of all your stories
 'Bout what you've seen and done
 Wagging your finger back at me
 Why don't you bite your tongue?
 Cutting around the corners
 Traipsing through back alleys
 Doing exactly what I want
 Don't care what you think of me
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 Like a word
 That leaves my mind
 Like a dream
 Leaves in daylight
 I've waited a long, long while now
 Bided my time for this
 Traded my suits for cowboy boots
 For something I wouldn't dare miss
 Keepin' my fingers crossed now
 Keepin' my toes crossed too
 If I blink and find I'm dreamin'
 I don't know what I would do
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 I'm free
 Free as a bird
 I keep my lid on tightly
