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 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 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 longing to give |
| I wish I could live like I'm longing to live |
| I wish I could do all the things that I can do |
| Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew |
| Well, 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 sea |
| And then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah |
| Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah |
| Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know |
| I'd know how it feels |
| I'd know how it feels to be free, yeah, yeah |
| Oh, I'd know how it feels |
| Yes, I'd know, I'd know how it feels |
| How it feels to be free, Lord, Lord, Lord, yeah |
