John Denver I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free song lyrics

This song was first released on the Rhymes and Reasons album. It is the only album it has been released on.

And I wish I knew how

It would feel to be free

I wish that I could break

All the chains holding me

I wish I could say

All the things that I'd like to say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear

For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share

All the love that's in my heart

Remove every doubt that keeps us apart

And I wish you could know

What it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree

Every man should be free

I wish I could live

Like I'm longin' to live

I wish I could give

What I'm longin' to give

And I wish I could do

All the things I'd like to do

You know they still are quite a few

Yes Sir...

And I'm way way over due

I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky

How sweet it would be

If I found out I could fly

So long to the sun

And look down upon Ihe sea

And I sing because I know

how it feels to be

And I sing because I know

how it feels to be

And I sing because I know

how it feels to be free

Yeah
