I Wish (I Knew How It Feels To Be Free)

[Verse 1]
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holdin' 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 hear

[Verse 2]
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
Oh, I wish you could know what it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man child should be free

[Verse 3]
Well, I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give
I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live
Oh, I wish I could do all the things that I can do
Though I'm way overdue
I'd be starting anew

[Verse 4]
Well, 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 thе sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yеah
I would sing 'cause I'd know, yeah
I would sing 'cause I'd know

[Outro]
Mmm hmm hmm, whoo
Mmm
Mmm hmm hmm hmm, yeah
Whoo
