I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free Lyrics - After The Rain - Irma Thomas

I wish I knew how 

It would feel to be free 

I wish I could break 

All the chains holdin' 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 doubts 

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 

All I'm longin' to give 

And I wish I could live 

Like I'm longin' to live 

And I wish I could do 

All the things that I can do 

Though I'm way over due 

I'd be startin' a new 

Well, I wish I could be 

Like a bird up in the sky 

How sweet it would be 

If I found I could fly

Oh, I'd soar high to the sun 

And I'd look down at the sea 

Then I'd sing 'cause I know 

Yes, I sing 'cause I know 

I sing 'cause I know 

I know how it feels 

Yes, I know how it feels
