[ti:I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free]
[ar:Nina Simone]
[00:32.38] And I wish I knew how
[00:35.77] It would feel to be free
[00:40.43] I wish that I could break
[00:43.78] All the chains holding me
[00:48.39] I wish I could say
[00:51.72] All the things that I should like to say
[00:55.51] Say 'em loud say 'em clear
[00:59.30] For the whole round world to hear
[01:04.01] I wish I could share
[01:07.62] All the love that's in my heart
[01:12.12] Remove all the bars
[01:15.29] That keep us apart
[01:19.46] And I wish you could know
[01:23.16] What it means to be me
[01:26.70] Then you'd see and agree
[01:30.38] That every man should be free
[01:35.25] I wish I could give
[01:38.96] All I'm longin'to give
[01:43.26] I wish I could live
[01:46.59] Like I'm longin'to live
[01:50.96] I wish I could do
[01:54.16] All the things that I can do
[01:58.10] And though I'm way over due
[02:02.17] I'd be starting a new
[02:06.46] Well I wish I could be
[02:09.77] Like a bird in the sky
[02:14.26] How sweet it would be
[02:17.79] If I found I could fly
[02:21.77] Oh I'd soar to the sun
[02:25.30] And look down at the sea
[02:29.27] Than I'd sing cos I know -yea
[02:33.33] Then I'd sing cos I know -yea
[02:37.09] Then I'd sing cos I know
[02:40.25] I'd know how it feels
[02:44.10] Oh I know how it feels to be free
[02:48.24] Yea Yea!Oh,I know how it feels
[02:51.84] Yes I know
[02:54.32] Oh,I know
[02:56.14] How it feels
[02:58.51] How it feels
[03:00.39] To be free
