The Derek Trucks Band I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free) lyrics

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
Wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say everything I had to say
Say it loud, say it clear for the whole damn world to hear

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bonds that keep us apart
I wish you knew how it would feel to be me
Then you'd see and agree everyone should be free

I wish I could give all I'm longing to give
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
I wish I could do everything that I could do
Though I'm way overdue I'd be starting with you


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
And I'd sing 'cause I know yeah, I would sing 'cause I know

I'd sing baby, I'd sing yeah, I would sing yeah
I'd sing 'cause I know 'cause I know
I'd sing 'cause I know 'cause I know

I sing because I know, I sing because I know
I sing because I know everyone should be free
