I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free Lyrics - Original Album Classics - 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 

Photos 

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
