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 is 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 at the sea And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free
I wish I knew how it would feel 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 love but we're not the same We got to carry each other Carry each other One One One One One...
I knew how it would feel to be free 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 is 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 at the sea
And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free
I wish I knew how it would feel 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 love but we're not the same
We got to carry each other Carry each other
One One One One One...
I knew how it would feel to be free
I knew how it would feel to be free
