Simone I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free song lyrics

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 saysay 'em loud, say 'em clearfor the whole round world to hear.

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heartremove all the bars that keep us apart

I wish you could know what it means to be me

Then you'd see and agreethat 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 that I could do all the things that I can dothough I'm way overdue I'd be starting anew.

Well I wish I could be like a bird in the skyhow sweet it would be if I found I could fly

Oh I'd soar to the sun and look down at the seaand I'd sing cos I'd know thatand I'd sing cos I'd know thatand I'd sing cos I'd know that

I'd know how it feels to be free

I'd know how it feels to be free

I'd know how it feels to be free
