I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free Lyrics


I wish I knew how
It would feel to be free
I wish I could break
All the chains holdin' meAnd I wish I could say
All the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
For the whole world to hearI wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the doubts
That keep us apartAnd I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be freeI wish I could give
All I'm longin' to give
And I wish I could live
Like I'm longin' to liveAnd I wish I could do
All the things that I can do
Though I'm way over due

I'd be startin' a newWell, I wish I could be
Like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found I could flyOh, I'd soar high to the sun
And I'd look down at the sea
Then I'd sing 'cause I know
Yes, I sing 'cause I knowI sing 'cause I know
I know how it feels
Yes, I know how it feels

Irma Thomas (b. February 18, 1941, Ponchatoula, Louisiana) whose only national chart hit in a 50 year career is 1963's "Wish Someone Would Care", is an enduring, Grammy winning, soul, gospel, rhythm and blues singer from New Orleans. Known as the "Soul Queen of New Orleans", she is a contemporary of Aretha Franklin and Etta James, but did not tour as relentlessly, and industry support and major commercial success eluded her for decades.
