Free as a Bird Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
Free as a bird

[Verse]
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird

[Chorus]
Home
Home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
As a bird on wings

[Bridge]
Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?

Whatever happened to
The life that we once knew?
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)

[Verse]
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
[Chorus]
Home
Home and dry
Like a homing bird I'll fly
A bird on wings

[Verse]
Free as a bird
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Doo, doo, doo, doo)

[Outro]
Free as a bird
It's the next best thing to be

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
