It's simple to search via Google or similar for a song title and the word "lyrics," but that will bring up many instances of works that are still protected by copyright. If you are specifically looking for public domain songs, the link below is a reasonable place to start.

Where to get free flute music online?

You most likely will not find much popular music for free on the web, because it will be copyrighted. Music is automatically considered copyrighted until the composer has been dead for 100 years. After the composer has been dead for 100 years, the music is then considered to be in the public domain, which means it can then be used for free. Music like Christmas carols or church hymns are in the public domain, and should be available for free. The one catch with public domain music, is that if someone makes an arrangement of a public domain piece of music, their arrangement is considered as being under copyright, so that arrangement is not in the public domain, even though the original melody was.
