Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holdin' me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
[Verse 2]
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that could keep us apart
I wish you could know what it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free
[Verse 3]
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holdin' me
I wish I could say all the things, all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, and say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
Written by: Billy Taylor, Jay Weigel, Richard Lamb
