Freddie McGregor Lyrics
"I Wish There Was a Way"

Oh, the sisters crying out for a brother's help
Give a hand if you can, yeah
Oh, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice

Oh, Lord, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice, oh, Lord
I looked and I behold and saw her peeping through the window
I saw true lovin' in her eyes, yeah

Right there and then I knew that something was gonna happen
But I couldn't say what, and I keep thinkin'
Oh, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice

Oh, Lord, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice
Could not be an ordinary feelin', no, no
It's coming from deep within, yeah, yeah

Your eyes it shows me so much meanin'
It makes me wonder where it begins, and I keep thinkin'
Oh, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice

Oh, Lord, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice, oh, Lord
Nah-nah-nah-nah, yeah
Oh, the sisters calling out for a brother's help

Oh, Lord
I looked and I behold and saw her peeping through the window
I saw true lovin' in her eyes, yeah
Right there and then I knew that something was gonna happen

But I couldn't say what, and I keep thinkin'
Oh, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice
Oh, Lord, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind

And I know just the way to make that sacrifice, oh, Lord
I looked and I behold and saw her peeping through the window
I saw true loving in her eyes, yeah
Right there and then I knew that something was gonna happen

But I couldn't say what, and I keep thinkin'
Oh, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice
Oh, Lord, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind

And I know just the way to make that sacrifice, oh, Lord
Oh, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind
And I know just the way to make that sacrifice
Oh, Lord, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind

And I know, I know the way to make that sacrifice
Lord, I wish, I wish there was a way that I could read your mind, sister
And I know, I know the way to make that sacrifice
