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 that I could break All the chains holding me I wish I could say All the things that I'd like to 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 every doubt that keeps us apart And I wish you could know What it means to be me Then you'd see and agree Every man should be free I wish I could live Like I'm longin' to live I wish I could give What I'm longin' to give And I wish I could do All the things I'd like to do You know they'll still is quite a few, Yes O.. And I'm way way over due I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky How sweet it would be If I found out I could fly I'd soar up the the sun And look down upon the sea And I'd sing because I know how it feels to be I'd sing because I know how it feels And I sing because I'd know how it feels to be free 'Yeah'
