Free birds

If I beg you to love me for all of my days,
Will you promise to be there forever, for always?
And if I asked you to fly far away with me,
Would you at least for one moment, pretend to be free?
Close your eyes and leap into the unknown
This world is here for you to love, to roam

Darling, free birds don’t ever clip their wings.
They aren’t weighed down by meaningless things.
Baby, do you really want to be,
stuck where you are now, alone and without me?
Love, love, love, love, love,
Could it really be love?

Dear the world will be ours and we will be hers.
You will be mine and I will be yours.
Take my hand and promise one thing.
Yes, you I will hold, but to me you must cling.
Please trust me if you’re ready to fly.
If you’re ready to tell all that you knew goodbye

Darling, free birds don’t ever clip their wings.
They aren’t weighed down by meaningless things.
Baby, do you really want to be,
stuck where you are now, alone and without me?
Love, love, love, love, love,
You know it’s love, love.

It's sung with a guitar, with a folky-acoustic style.
