D F# Bm
I wish I knew how
G A D
it feels to be free
D F# Bm
I wish I could break
E A
all the chains holding me
D F# Bm
I wish I could say
G A D
all the things that I should say
D F# D
I'd say 'em loud say 'em clear
G A D
for the whole round world to hear
D F# Bm
I wish I could share
G A D
all the love that's in my heart
D F# Bm
Remove all the bars
E A
that keep us apart
D F# Bm
And I wish you could know
G A D
what it means to be me
D F# Bm
Then you'd see and agree
G A D
that every man should be free
D F# Bm
I wish I could give
G A D
what I'm longing to give
D F# Bm
I wish I could live
E A
like I'm longing to live
D F# Bm
And I wish I could do
G A D
all the things that I can do
D F# Bm
And I'm way over due
G A D
you know I'll be starting anew
D F# Bm
I wish I could be
G A D
like a bird in the sky
D F# Bm
How sweet it would be
E A
if I found out I could fly
D F# Bm
So long to this song
G A D
and look down at the sea
D F# Bm G
And I sing 'cause I know, you know!

And I sing 'cause I know, hey!
And I sing 'cause I know, yeah!
And I sing 'cause I know, oh!
And I sing 'cause I know, yeah!
And I sing 'cause I know, oh!
And I sing 'cause I know, yeah!
