Lyrics

Free as a Bird
by Murray Daigle, Bobby John, Mikalyn Hay


Verse 1
Did you ever feel
Did you ever feel
Like there was more than meets the eye

Did you ever dream
Did you ever dream
The clouds were yours that you could fly

Pre Chorus
I want rush like the wind
i want run through the rain
kicking off these shoes I want to feel it
one step at a time

feel the cold on my skin
see the sun creeping in
open eyes for the view I want to see you
one glance at a time

Chorus
I am free as a bird
like an untamed melody
just try to catch me

I am free as a bird
I'm the ocean at your feet
You cant hold me down
Just try to catch me now

Verse 2
Did you ever hope
Did you over hope
The moment lasted a little longer

Did you ever love
Did you ever love
Do much you felt it down to the bone

Chorus
I am free as a bird
like an untamed melody
try to catch me

I am free as a bird
I'm the ocean at your feet
You cant hold me down
Just try to catch me now

Bridge/Pre Chorus
I want rush like the wind
I want run through the rain
Kickin off these shoes I want to feel it
One step at a time

Feel the cold on my skin
See the sun creeping in
Open eyes for the view I want to see it
one glance at a time

Chorus
I am free as a bird
like an untamed melody
try to catch me

I am free as a bird
I'm the ocean at your feet
you cant hold me down
