Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free lyrics

Richard lamb, william taylor And i wish i knew how It would feel to be free I wish that i could break All the chains holding me I wish i could say All the things that i'd like to say Say 'em loud say 'em clear For the whole round world to hear I wish i could share All the love that's in my heart Remove every doubt It keeps us apart And i wish you could know What it means to be me Then you'd see and agree Every man should be free I wish i could live Like i'm longin' to live I wish i could give What i'm longin' to give And i wish i could do All the things i'd like to do You know they'll still miss part of you Yes sir... And i'm way way over due I wish i could be like a bird up in the sky How sweet it would be If i found out i could fly So long to my song And look down upon ihe sea And i sing because i know I would see you I sing because i know I would see you And i sing because i know I would see you To be free yea
