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
