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 wide world to hear

I wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove all the bars that keep us apart

And I wish you could

know how it feels to be me

Then you'd see and agree that

every man should be free

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be

if I found I could fly

Well I'd soar to the sun

and look down at the sea

And I'd sing 'cause I know

how it feels to be free

I wish I knew how it

would feel to be free

I wish I could break all

the chains holding me

And I wish I could say all

the things that I wanna say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole wide world to hear

One love one blood

One life you've got

to do what you should

One life with each other

Sisters, brothers

One love but we're not the same

We got to carry each other

Carry each other

Ohhh

I wish I knew how

it would feel to be free

I wish I knew how

it would feel to be free
