I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free — текст песни (John Denver)

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 say all the things that I should say
Say `em loud, say `em 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 could know what it means to be me
Then you`d see and agree that every man 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 that I could do all the things that I can do
Though I`m way overdue, I`d be start - ing anew.

Well I wish I could be like a bird in the sky;
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly!
Oh, I`d soar to the sun and look down at the sea
Then I`d sing `cause I`d know, yeah,
Then I`d sing `cause I`d know, yeah
Then I`d sing `cause I`d know, I`d know how it feels,
I`d know how it feels to be free,
I`d know how it feels to be free.
