I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holding me
I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
°7
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 all the bars
That keeps us apart
And I wish you could know
What it means to be me
°7
Then you'd see and agree
Every man should be free
[solo]
I wish I could give
All I'm longin' to give
I wish I could give
Like I'm longin' to give
And I wish I could do
All the things that I can do
°7
Though I'm way over due
I'd be startin' a new!
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 I'd soar to the sun
And look down upon the sea
°7
And I sing 'cause I know
°7
I sing because I know
°7
And we sing'cause we know
How it feels
to be
free.
