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 I'd like to 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
And I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
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
And I wish I could do
All the things that I can do
And I'm way way over due
I'd be starting anew

I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky ,hey
How sweet it would be
If I found I could fly
Oh, I'd soar to the sun
And look down at the sea
then I'd sing coz I'd know
I sing because I know
yeah
And I sing because I know
yeah
To be free, yeah
