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 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

all the things that i should say

say 'em so loud say 'em so clear

for the whole round world to hear
