I wish that I knew how it feels to be free. I wish I could break all these chains binding me. I wish I could say all the things I should say. Say them loud, say them clear for the whole world to hear. I wish that I could share the love in my heart. Remove all the bonds that still keep us apart. I wish you could know what it means to be me. Then you'd see and agree every man should be free. How I wish I could, how I wish I could, wish I could. I wish I could give all I'm looking to give. I wish I could live like I'm longing to live. I wish I could do all the things I can do. Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew. I wish I knew how it would feel to be free. I wish I could break all these chains binding me. I wish I could say all the things I should say. Then I'd know, yes I'd know how it feels to be free. Then I'd know how it feels to be free.
