I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free
	Richard Lamb, William Taylor
	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 It 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'll still miss part of you 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 my song And look down upon Ihe sea And I sing because I know I would see you I sing because I know I would see you And I sing because I know I would see you To be free Yea
	Written by jazz pianist Billy Taylor, recorded originally by Nina Simone and subsequently by Solomon Burke and Ray Charles.
