F                           C
I've been tearing down the walls
                            Am
I've been kicking down the doors
                           G
I've been burning all the boxes
F                            C
'Cause I'm a slave to only truth
                  Am
I'm as wild as a wolf
                            G
You can't keep me from the mountains

C/E     F             C
I'm replacing all my demons
         Am                 G    C/E
For the sweetest songs of freedom
      F              C                 Am G
Last night I had a dream that I could fly

Chorus:
     C/E   F
Now, baby, I
C                Am
I'm as free as a bird
                  G
I'm as free as a bird
C/E   F
Baby, I
C                       Am
I don't know if you've heard
                        G
I don't know if you've heard
C/E    F                  C
But I taught my heart to sing
       Am                 G
And I found me a pair of wings
     C/E   F
Now, baby, I
C                Am
I'm as free as a bird
                  G
I'm as free as a bird

I've been flying through the trees
I've been dancing on the breeze
I kiss the sun now every morning
I've been shaking off the chains
I've been giving up the games
I've been answering my calling

And as soon as I surrendered
The light began to enter
Last night I had a dream that I could fly

Chorus

Baby, I
I'm as free as a bird
I'm as free as a bird
Oh, I
I don't know if you've heard
I don't know if you've heard
But I taught my heart to sing
And I gave me a pair of wings
Now, baby, I
I'm as free as a bird
