Lyrics The Derek Trucks Band

The Derek Trucks Band

I Wish I Knew

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 see, everything I had to see

Sing it loud, sing it 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 knew, how it would feel to be me

Then you'd see, and agree, everyone 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 everything that I could do

Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be if I found I could fly

I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea

And I'd sing, cause I know (echo and repeated)

I sing because I know, I sing because I know, I sing

because I know everyone should be free.
