I wish I knew how it would feel to be free Wish I could break the all the chains holding me I wish I could say everything I have to say Say it loud, say it 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 I wish you knew how it would feel to be me Then you'd see and agree, everyone should be free I wish I could give all I'm longing to give I wish I could live like I'm longing to live I wish I could do everything that I should do Though I'm way over due, I'd be starting anew 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 And I'd sing, 'cause I know everyone should be free
