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 longing to give
|
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
|
I wish that I could do all the things that I can do
|
Though I'm way overdue I'd be starting anew.
|
|
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 soar to the sun and look down at the sea
|
And I'd sing cos I'd know that
|
And I'd sing cos I'd know that
|
And I'd sing cos I'd know that
|
I'd know how it feels to be free
|
I'd know how it feels to be free
|
I'd know how it feels to be free
|
