Lyrics:
      A flat   C7      Fm     Aflat 7  D flat  Eflat 9   Aflat
l, 5.    I Wish   I knew   How   It would    Feel   To be     Free.

             D flat  Aflat             E flat   Bflat 7   E flat 7
    I wish   I could  break  all these  chains   holding   me.

      A flat    C7    Fm    A flat 7    D flat  E flat 9  A flat
    I wish   I could  say   all the     things   I should  say,

    Ddim    A flat    C7     Fm     Ddim    A flat  /E flat9sus4    A flat
    Say em   loud,   Say em  clear, for the  whole     world      to hear.

2.  I wish I could share all the love in my heart
Remove all the bars that still keep us apart.
I wish you could know what it means to be me,
Then you'd see and agree ev'ry man should be free.

3.  I wish I could give all I'm long - ing to give
 I wish I could live like I'm longing to live.
I wish I could do all the things I can do,
Though I'm way overdue I'd be starting a new.

4.  I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly.
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea,
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know how it feels to be free.
