I Wish I Knew Lyrics


I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
Wish I could break the all the chains holding me
I wish I could say everything I have to say
Say it loud, say it 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 keep us apart
I wish you knew how it would feel to be me
Then you'd see and agree, everyone should be free
I wish I could give all I'm longing to give
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
I wish I could do everything that I should do
Though I'm way over due, I'd be starting anew
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing, 'cause I know everyone should be free

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

James Victor "Jimmy" Scott (July 17, 1925 – June 12, 2014), also known as "Little" Jimmy Scott, was an American jazz vocalist famous for his unusually high contralto voice, which was due to Kallmann's syndrome, a very rare genetic condition. The condition stunted his growth at four feet eleven inches until, at the age of 37, he grew another 8 inches to the height of five feet seven inches. The condition prevented him from reaching puberty, leaving him with a high, undeveloped voice.
