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
