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 I could break
All the chains holdin 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 thats in my heart
Remove all the doubts
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then youd see and agree
That every man should be free
I wish I could give
All Im longin to give
I wish I could live like Im longing to live
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
And though Im way over due
Id 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 out I could fly
So long to my song
And look down upon the sea
And I sing because I know yeah
And I sing because I know yeah
And I sing because I know
I would know how it feels
I would know how it feels to be free
I would know how it feels
Yes, I would know
I would know how it feels, how it feels
To be free, no no
