I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish that I could break

All the chains holding me

I wish I could say

All the things that I'd should say

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

It keeps us apart

I wish you could know

What it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree

That every man should be free



I 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 do

And though I? way over due

I? be starting a new



Well I wish I could be

Like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be

If I found out I could fly

And I? sore to the sun

And look down at the sea

And I sing cos I know - yea

And I sing cos I know - yea

And I sing cos I know

I? know how it feels

Oh I? know how it feels to be free

Yea Yea I? know how it feels

Yes I? know

I? know

How it feels

How it feels

To be free
