Mary Travers - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free lyrics

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free I wish I could break all these chains holding me I wish I could say all the things I know 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 still keep us apart I wish you could know what it means to be me Then you'd see and agree every man must 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 all the things I know I can do Though I'm way over due I'd be starting anew I wish I could be like a bird that's in the sky How sweet it would be if I found that I could fly I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know how it feels to be free Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know how it feels to be free
