I wish I knew how, it would feel to be free I wish I could break, all the chains holding me I wish I could see, everything I had to see Sing it loud, sing it clear, for the whole round world to hear
I wish I could share, all the love that's in my heart Remove all the bars, that keep us apart I wish you knew, how it would feel to be me Then you'd see, and agree, everyone should be free
I wish I could give, all I'm longing to give I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live I wish I could do everything that I could do Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky How sweet it would be if I found I could fly I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea And I'd sing, cause I know (echo and repeated)
I sing because I know, I sing because I know, I sing because I know everyone should be free.
