I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free Songtext
von John Denver

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
