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 !!!

John Coltrane formed his first group, a quartet, in 1960. After moving through different personnel including Steve Kuhn, Pete LaRoca, and Billy Higgins, the lineup stabilized in the fall with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Steve Davis, and drummer Elvin Jones. Tyner, from Philadelphia, had been a friend of Coltrane's for some years and the two men long had an understanding that the pianist would join Coltrane when Tyner felt ready for the exposure of regularly working with him. Also recorded in the same sessions were the later released albums Coltrane's Sound and Coltrane Plays the Blues.
