I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free)

Lyrics

Have you ever wished upon a star
 And all your hopes seemed so far
 Well, here's a wish that will come true
 And all these wishes are just for you
 I wish I knew how it
 Feel to be free, yessiree
 I wish I could break all
 Of these chains, oh, yes
 That are really holding me
 Wish I could say all the things
 I should say every day
 And say em loud, say em clear
 For the whole wide world to hear
 I wish I could share all the love
 That I have in my heart today
 And then move all the bars that
 Keep the people in the world astring
 I wish I could give all the joy
 Everybody could see
 Then they'd know, then they'd know
 Every man in this world should be free
 Listen, I wish I could give all the love
 That I have in my heart, right now, today
 I wish that I could help someone who
 Was sad and is somewhere going astray
 And most of all, I wish I had the
 Answer and the secret to peace
 I'd give this to every leader of the world
 And then I wish I had the secret of love
 For I'd share this with every man
 Every woman, every boy and every girl
 Oh, I wish I could fly
 Like a bird up in the sky
 And then wake up one morning
 To find out for myself, oh
 You don't even have to die
 Listen, I'd fly if I could fly, you see
 To the sun and then down
 To the deep blue sea
 Then I'd sing, yes
 I'd sing about freedom
 I want everybody to
 Come sing along with me
 Let me hear you just sing it one time
 Let me hear you say
 I'd sing, yes, I'd sing, come on
 Sing, children, sing about love now
 Sing, sing, sing about peace
 Sing, sing, sing about the joy
 Sing, sing, sing, ohh...
