I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to Be Free
John Legend
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 Remove 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 one 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 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 Oh I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea And then I'd sing 'cause I'd know yeah Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know yeah Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know I'd know how it feels I'd know how it feels to be free yeah yeah Oh I'd know how it feels Yes I'd know I'd know how it feels How it feels to be free
