1. There are times when I long to go To the place I know so well I remember the time I sailed away Though the pain in my heart has healed I can't forget the town The town where I spent all my childhood days. 2. All the friends that I left behind At the crossroads on that morn How I'd love to see them all again My shoulders are still aching From the hug my old man gave And my cheeks still feels my mother's kiss so warm.

3. All the gold and silver that I've seen Along the paths I've trod Could not pay for the friends I have lost And all the lands that I have been They never could compare To that dear land that I still love the most. 4. Though they say there is no going back To what you left behind And that memories are all that's left to save So I will treasure all of them Until I pass away And they'll give me comfort when I'm in my grave.

Refrain: Still the free bird will fly with the wind Seeking new horizons every day And the breezes will carry them wherever they may blow Only hoping to fly back again some day.
