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 wide world to hear
    I wish I could share
  All the love that's in my heart
  Remove all the bars that keep us apart
  And I wish you could know how it is to be me
  Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free
    I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
  How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
  Well I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
  And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free
    I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
  I wish I could break all the chains holding me
  And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say
  Say 'em loud say 'em clear
  For the whole wide world to hear
  Say 'em loud say 'em clear
  For the whole wide world to hear
  Say 'em loud say 'em clear
  For the whole wide world to hear
    One love one blood
  One life you've got to do what you should
  One life with each other
  Sisters, brothers
    One love but we're not the same
  We got to carry each other Carry each other
  One One One One One...
    I knew how it would feel to be free
  I knew how it would feel to be free
