I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

And I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish that I could break

All the chains holding me

I wish I could say

All the things that I'd like to say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove all the bars

that keep us apart

And I wish you could know

What it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree

Every man should be free



I wish I could give

All I'm longin' to give

I wish I could live

Like I'm longin' to live

And I wish I could do

All the things that I can do

And I'm way way over due

I'd be starting anew



I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky ,hey

How sweet it would be

If I found I could fly

Oh, I'd soar to the sun

And look down at the sea

then I'd sing coz I'd know

I sing because I know

yeah

And I sing because I know

yeah

To be free, yeah
