when a spirit is broken why go on when there s nothing to say and a love just a token it was strong now it s fading away ah but i m free as a bird as i walk right out that door you have my word i won t bother you no more yes i m doing alright as i face the lonely night and our love it was over long ago but we just didn t say and the years they have fallen one by one how they drifted away but now i m free as a bird as i walk out that door you have my word i won t bother you no more yes i m feeling ok as i face the brand new day as i face the brand new day you know i m free as a bird as i walk right out that door you have my word i won t bother you no more yes i m doing alright as i face the lonely night as i face the lonely night no more sorrows will i find i ve got tomorrow on my side no more teardrops will i cry left my teardrops way behind no more sorrows will i find i ve got tomorrow on my side no more teardrops will i cry left my teardrops way behind no more heartaches bother me don t wear my heartaches on my sleeve it s gonna be a brand new story what s the use of former glory it s better not to do if you can t do right it s time to get to celebrating after all the years of waiting i m gonna have a ball if it takes all night
