Liberty

Saw a bird with a tear in his eye

Walking to New Orleans, my oh my

Hey, now, bird, wouldn't you rather die

Than walk this world when you're born to fly?



If I was the sun, I'd look for shade

If I was a bed, I would stay unmade

If I was a river I'd run uphill

If you call me you know I will

If you call me you know I will



Ooo, freedom, ooo, liberty

Ooo, leave me alone

To find my own way home

To find my own way home



Say what I mean and I don't give a damn

I do believe and I am who I am

Hey now mama come and take my hand

Whole lotta shakin' all over this land



If I was an eagle, I'd dress like a duck

Crawl like a lizard and honk like a truck

If I get a notion I'll climb this tree

Or chop it down and you can't stop me

Chop it down and you can't stop me



Ooo, freedom, ooo, liberty

Ooo, 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 I'd spill for love

Sake of mercy I'd kill for love

If I was a liar, I'd lie for love

Sake of my baby, I'd die for love

Sake of my baby, I'd die for love



Ooo, freedom, ooo, liberty

Ooo, leave me alone

To find my own way home

To find my own way home

I'm gonna find my own way home
