I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free)

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

Say 'em loud, say 'em clear

For the whole round world to hearI wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove all the bars

That keep us apart

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

I wish I could live

Like I'm longin' to live

I wish I could do

All the things that I can do

And though I'm way over due

I'd be starting anewWell I wish I could be

Like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be

If I found I could fly

Oh I'd soar to the sun

And look down at the seaThen I'd sing 'cause I know, yea

Then I'd sing 'cause I know, yea

Then I'd sing 'cause I know

I'd know how it feels

Oh I know how it feels to be free

Yea yea! Oh, I know how it feelsYes I know, oh, I know

How it feels

How it feels

To be free, Lord, Lord, Lord
