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

(альбом: I Wish I Knew - 1968)

Have you ever wished upon a star?
And all your hopes seem so far
Well, here's wish that will come true
And all these wishes are just for you

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all of these chains
Oh yes, that I really hold and need
I wish I could say all the things
I should say everyday
And say out loud, say out clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could share all the love that I have
In my heart to give
And them move all the bars
That keep the people in the world mistreated
I wish I could give all the joys
That everybody could see
Then they know, they they know
Every man in the world should be free
Listen

I wish I could give all the love that I have
In my heart right now, today
I wish I could help someone
Who is sad and somewhere going strained
And most of all, I wish I had the answer
In the secret of peace
I 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

I wish I could fly, fly like a bird up in the sky
And I'd wake up one morning
That found out for myself
Oh, it 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
In the sea
Then I'd sing, yes I'd sing about freedom

I want everybody to come
And sing along with me
Let me hear just sing with me one more time
Let me hear, say it
I'd sing yes, I'd sing, come on
I sing, sing, sing about freedom
