I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free (Live At Montreux) Nina Simone

Wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains that's still binding me, yeah
Wish I could say all the things that I can say when I'm relaxed
I'd be starting anew

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky (Don't leave me)
How sweet it would be to find that I could fly
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
Then I'd sing 'cause I know how it feels to be free
Then I'd sing 'cause I know how it feels to be free

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
I wish I could break all things that bind us apart
Wish you could know what it means to be me
And you'd see, you'd agree, everybody should be free ('Cause if we ain't we'd be murderers)

Wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I could find that I could fly
Soar to sun, look down at see and I know, yes I know
(Ah, yeah, spirit's movin' now)
[Hums melody]

I know, I got news for you: I already know
Jonathan Livingston's seagull ain't got nothing on me, free
Free, free, free, I'm free, and I know it
Don't wanna be a- and I show it, but I'm still free
Just believe in me (It's alright)
