I wish I knew how
|
It would feel to be free
|
I wish I could break
|
All the chains holding me
|
I wish I could say
|
All the things that I should 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
|
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
|
I wish I could live
|
Like I'm longin' to live
|
I wish I could do
|
All the things that I can do
|
And though I'm抦 way over due
|
I'd抎 be starting a new
|
|
Well I wish I could be
|
Like a bird in the sky
|
How sweet it would be
|
If I found I could fly
|
Oh I'd抎 soar to the sun
|
And look down at the sea
|
Than I'd sing cos I know - yea
|
Then I'd sing cos I know - yea
|
Then I'd sing cos I know
|
I'd抎 know how it feels
|
Oh I抎 know how it feels to be free
|
Yea Yea! Oh, I抎 know how it feels
|
Yes I抎 know
|
Oh, I抎 know
|
How it feels
|
How it feels
|
To be free
|
