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