I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free - Live – Montreux Jazz Festival 1976
Wish, I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish, I could break all the chains, that still bindin' me, yeah
I wish I could say all the things, that I can say when I'm relaxed
I'd be starting anew
I wish I could be, like a bird in the sky (don't leave me)
How sweet it would be to find that I could fly
I'd soar, to the sun and look down at the sea
Then I'd sing, 'cause I know how it feels to be free
Then I'd sing, 'cause I know how it feels to be free
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
I wish I could break all the things that bind us apart
I wish you could know what it means, to be me
Then you'd see, you'd agree, everybody, should be free
'Cause if we ain't we're murderers
I wish, I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet, it would be to find, that I could fly
Soar to the sun, look down at the sea
Yeah, I'd know, yes, I'd know
Oh yeah, spirits movin' now
I know
Got news for you, I already know
Johnathan Livingston Seagull ain't got nothin' on me
Free, free, free, free
I'm free and I know it
Don't want to be ya' and I'll show it
But I'm still free
Believe in me, it's all right
And I'd sing, sing, sing
'Cause I would know
I already know
I already know
I found out how it feels
Not to be chained
To anything
To any race
To any faith
To anybody
To any creed
To any hopes
To any, anything
I know how it feels to be free
I wish, I could break all the chains, that still bindin' me, yeah
I wish I could say all the things, that I can say when I'm relaxed
I'd be starting anew
I wish I could be, like a bird in the sky (don't leave me)
How sweet it would be to find that I could fly
I'd soar, to the sun and look down at the sea
Then I'd sing, 'cause I know how it feels to be free
Then I'd sing, 'cause I know how it feels to be free
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
I wish I could break all the things that bind us apart
I wish you could know what it means, to be me
Then you'd see, you'd agree, everybody, should be free
'Cause if we ain't we're murderers
I wish, I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet, it would be to find, that I could fly
Soar to the sun, look down at the sea
Yeah, I'd know, yes, I'd know
Oh yeah, spirits movin' now
I know
Got news for you, I already know
Johnathan Livingston Seagull ain't got nothin' on me
Free, free, free, free
I'm free and I know it
Don't want to be ya' and I'll show it
But I'm still free
Believe in me, it's all right
And I'd sing, sing, sing
'Cause I would know
I already know
I already know
I found out how it feels
Not to be chained
To anything
To any race
To any faith
To anybody
To any creed
To any hopes
To any, anything
I know how it feels to be free
