--------- 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 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
Re-move 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
--------------------------------------------------------
Solo - 1 Chorus
--------------------------------------------------------
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
Though I’m way overdue
I’d be starting anew.

Well I wish I could be
like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found I could fly

I’d soar to the sun
And look down at the sea
Then I'd sing ‘cause I know yeah,
And I sing ‘cause I know yeah,

And I sing ‘cause I know,
I know how it feels,
Oh I know how it feels to be free
Yeah I know how it feels yes
I know how it feels yes
