I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free) [Live]
Wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains that's still bindin' me, yeah
Wish I could say all the things that I could say when I'm relaxed
And wished startin' anew
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky, don't leave me
How sweet it would be to find out I could fly
I'd sour 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
Wish I could break all things that bind us keep 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 murders
Wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if could find that I could fly
Sour to the sun, look down at the sea
Man, I know, yes, I know
Oh yeah, spirit, move in now
I know, got news for ya, already know
Jonathan, Livingstone, Seagal, ain't got nothing on me
Free, free, free, free
I'm free and I know it
Don't wanna be here, and I show it
But I'm still free and believe in me, it's alright
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 greed, to any hopes, to any anything
I know how it feels to be free
I wish I could break all the chains that's still bindin' me, yeah
Wish I could say all the things that I could say when I'm relaxed
And wished startin' anew
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky, don't leave me
How sweet it would be to find out I could fly
I'd sour 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
Wish I could break all things that bind us keep 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 murders
Wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if could find that I could fly
Sour to the sun, look down at the sea
Man, I know, yes, I know
Oh yeah, spirit, move in now
I know, got news for ya, already know
Jonathan, Livingstone, Seagal, ain't got nothing on me
Free, free, free, free
I'm free and I know it
Don't wanna be here, and I show it
But I'm still free and believe in me, it's alright
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 greed, to any hopes, to any anything
I know how it feels to be free
