As Free As Can Be~Coco

Oh curious, curious stranger,

won't you let me be?

I've lived, and I've loved, and I've lost,

but I will never be free.

Like a sweet little apple tree

in the rolling hills,

or a chirping bluebird

who can't stay still,

I've found peace in nature

and comfort when ill.

The world hums

and the wind blows.

It comes. It comes,

and it goes.

But through it all,

it goes to show

how special it is to me.

Oh curious, curious stranger,

won't you let me be?

I've lived, and I've loved, and I've lost,

but I will never be free.

So I make my home in the treetops,

breathe in the autumn air,

and dream of my new life

as a breeze sweeps through my hair.

I could settle down

or continue to roam.

Get a life

or sing some more.

Fall in love

and feel right at home.

So many choices for me.

O lovely, lovely sun,

won't you come to me?

I feel so old and so gosh-darn cold,

but I'm stubborn as can be.
