The Roots - 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 the chains holding me And I wish I could say all the things that I should say Say 'em loud, say 'em clear, for the whole 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 what it means to be me Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free I wish I could give, I'm longing to give And I wish I could live like I'm longing to live And I wish I could do all the things I can do Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting to move Well I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky How sweet it would be if I found I could fly Well I'd soar to the sun then I'd look down at the sea Then I'd sing cause I'd know Yes I'd sing cause I'd know Sing cause I know I know I'm free, yeah Yeah I know I'm free...
