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 thats in my heart

Remove every doubt

It 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

though I'm way overdue

I'd be starting anew.

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 ihe sea

And I sing because I know

I would see you

I sing because I know
I would see you

And I sing because I know
I know how we feel

I know you to be free yea

I know how we feel

I know how we feel
I know how we feel

I know you to be free yea
