I Wish I Knew Lyrics - Songlines - The Derek Trucks Band

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free 

Wish I could break the all the chains holding me 

I wish I could say everything I have to say 

Say it loud, say it clear, for the whole round world to hear 

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart 

Remove all the bars that keep us apart 

I wish you knew how it would feel to be me 

Then you'd see and agree, everyone should 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 everything that I should do 

Though I'm way over due, I'd be starting anew 

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky 

How sweet it would be if I found I could fly 

I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea 

And I'd sing, 'cause I know everyone should be free
