F A Dm
I wish I knew how
A# C F
it feels to be free
F A Dm
I wish I could break
G C
all the chains holding me
F A Dm
I wish I could say
A# C F
all the things that I should say
F A F
I'd say 'em loud say 'em clear
A# C F
for the whole round world to hear
F A Dm
I wish I could share
A# C F
all the love that's in my heart
F A Dm
Remove all the bars
G C
that keep us apart
F A Dm
And I wish you could know
A# C F
what it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree
A# C F
that every man should be free
F A Dm
I wish I could give
A# C F
what I'm longing to give
F A Dm
I wish I could live
G C
like I'm longing to live
F A Dm
And I wish I could do
A# C F
all the things that I can do
F A Dm
And I'm way over due
A# C F
you know I'll be starting anew
F A Dm
I wish I could be
A# C F
like a bird in the sky
F A Dm
How sweet it would be
G C
if I found out I could fly
F A Dm
So long to this song
A# C F
and look down at the sea
F A Dm A#
