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

And I wish I could say, all the things, that I should say

Say 'em loud, say 'em clear, for the whole 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, what it means, to be me

Then you'd see, and agree, that every man, should be free

I wish I could give, I'm longing to give

And I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live

And I wish I could do, all the things I can do

Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting to move

Well I wish I could be, like a bird up in the sky

How sweet it would be, if I found I could fly

Well I'd soar to the sun, then I'd look down at the sea

Then I'd sing cause I'd know

Yes I'd, sing cause I'd know

Sing cause I know

I know I'm free, yeah

Yeah I know I'm free... [fades out]
