I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free) - Marlena Shaw

Well I wish, I knew how It would feel to be free

Just to break all of the chains, that kinda keep binding me

And I wish that I could say, all that I’m longing to say

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

And I wish that I could share all the love I got in my heart

Lord how sweet it would be If we never never had to part

And I wish that you could know what it’s really like to be me

Then you would see and agree every man ought a be free

And I wish that I could sing like a bird up in the sky

Lord how sweet it would be child if I found that I could fly

I would soar up to the sky and I’d look down, look down at the sea,

and then I would sing, 'cause I know what it’s really like to be free

I wish, I knew how It would feel to be free

Just to break up all the chains, that just keep on binding me

And I wish that you could know, what it’s like to be me

I know you would see how, and then agree

Each and every man ought a be free

Freedom, Freedom, Each and every man wants freedom

Free at last, free at last good god mighty I’m free at last

I wish you could know, I wish you could see

I wish you could know what it’s like to be free
