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 longin´ to give
I wish I could live
Like I´m longin´ to live
I wish I could do
All the things that I can do
And though I´m´m way over due
I´d´d be starting a new

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´d soar to the sun
And look down at the sea
Than I´d sing cos I know - yea
Then I´d sing cos I know - yea
Then I´d sing cos I know
I´d´d know how it feels
Oh I´d know how it feels to be free
Yea Yea! Oh, I´d know how it feels
Yes I´d know
Oh, I´d know
How it feels
How it feels
To be free
