I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free-Nina Simone
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 thats in my heart
Remove every doubt
It keeps 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
oh I'm longin in give
I wish I could live
Like I'm longin to live
And I wish I could do
All the things I'd like to do
though I'm way overdue
I'd be starting anew.
I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be
If I found out I could fly
So long to my song
And look down upon ihe sea
And I sing because I know
I sing because I know
And I sing because I know
I know how we feel
I know you to be free yea
I know how we feel
because I know
I know how we feel
how we feel
because I know
