I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free

I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish I could break

All the chains holdin' me



And I wish I could say

All the things that I should say

Say 'em loud, say 'em clear

For the whole world to hear



I wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove all the doubts

That keep us apart



And I wish you could know

What it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree

That every man should be free



I wish I could give

All I'm longin' to give

And I wish I could live

Like I'm longin' to live



And I wish I could do

All the things that I can do

Though I'm way over due

I'd be startin' a new



Well, I wish I could be

Like a bird up in the sky

How sweet it would be

If I found I could fly



Oh, I'd soar high to the sun

And I'd look down at the sea

Then I'd sing 'cause I know

Yes, I sing 'cause I know



I sing 'cause I know

I know how it feels

Yes, I know how it feels
