I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free Lyrics - The Roots

[John Legend] 

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... [fades out]
