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
