(unison)
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
(harmony)
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be
ALL
(S Oh) if I found I could fly
ALL
I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing cos I know
Yes I'd sing cos I know
Oh I'd sing cos I know-oh________!
