Lyrics of I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel To Be Free) by Solomon Burke
verse
Have you ever wished upon a star
And all your hopes seemed so far
Well, here's a wish that will come true
And all these wishes are just for you
verse
I wish I knew how it
Feel to be free, yessiree
I wish I could break all
Of these chains, oh, yes
That are really holding me
verse
Wish I could say all the things
I should say every day
And say em loud, say em clear
For the whole wide world to hear
verse
I wish I could share all the love
That I have in my heart today
And then move all the bars that
Keep the people in the world astring
verse
I wish I could give all the joy
Everybody could see
Then they'd know, then they'd know
Every man in this world should be free
verse
Listen, I wish I could give all the love
That I have in my heart, right now, today
I wish that I could help someone who
Was sad and is somewhere going astray
verse
And most of all, I wish I had the
Answer and the secret to peace
I'd give this to every leader of the world
And then I wish I had the secret of love
For I'd share this with every man
Every woman, every boy and every girl
verse
Oh, I wish I could fly
Like a bird up in the sky
And then wake up one morning
To find out for myself, oh
You don't even have to die
verse
Listen, I'd fly if I could fly, you see
To the sun and then down
To the deep blue sea
Then I'd sing, yes
I'd sing about freedom
verse
I want everybody to
Come sing along with me
Let me hear you just sing it one time
outro
Let me hear you say
I'd sing, yes, I'd sing, come on
Sing, children, sing about love now
Sing, sing, sing about peace
Sing, sing, sing about the joy
Sing, sing, sing, ohh...
Writer(s): William Eugene Taylor, Dick Dallas
