And I wish I knew how It would feel to be free I wish that I could break All the chains holding me I wish I could say All the things that Id like to say Say em loud say em clear For the whole round world to hear I wish I could share All the love thats in my heart Remove every doubt It keeps us apart And I wish you could know What it means to be me Then youd see and agree Every man should be free
I wish I could live
Like Im longin to live I wish I could give What Im longin to give And I wish I could do All the things Id like to do You know theyll still miss part of you Yes sir... And Im way way over due
I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky How sweet it would be If I found out I could fly So long to my song And look down upon ihe sea And I sing because I know I would see you I sing because I know I would see you And I sing because I know I would see you To be free yea
