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 to the see

And I'd sing 'cos I know how it feels to be free



I wish I knew how it feels 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 life but we're not the same

We got to carry each other

Carry each other

Whoah Whoah Whoah Whoah Whoah ...



I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
