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

For the whole round world to hear

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be

I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea

And I'd sing cos I know
