[Strophe]
  A           F#m          D          A 
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free 
  A            F#m            B             E 
I wish I could break all the chains holding me 
  A            F#m         D                     A 
I wish I could say all the things that I should say 
 A                    F#m 
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear 
         E                   A 
For the whole round world to hear
[Strophe]
  A            F#m            D                 A 
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart 
 A             F#m         B        E 
Remove all the bars that keep us apart 
  A              F#m           D          A 
I wish you could know what it means to be me 
            A        F#m        E                   A 
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free
[Strophe]
  A             F#m           D          A 
I wish I could give all I'm longin' to give 
   A            F#m           B           E 
I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live 
   A           F#m          D               A 
I wish I could do all the things that I can do 
            A       F#m         E         A 
Though I'm way over due I'd be starting anew
[Strophe]
   A           F#m         D          A 
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky 
      A            F#m       B            E 
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly 
     A          F#m           D           A 
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea 
A                    F#m         E           A 
And I sing 'cause I know how it feels to be free
