I WISH I KNEW HOW IT WOULD FEEL TO BE FREE
Written by Billy Taylor and Dick Dallas
Performed by The Lighthouse Family


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
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear for the whole wide world to hear.

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it feels to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free.

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Well, I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing 'cause I'd know how it feels to be free.

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear for the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear for the whole wide world to hear
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear for the whole wide world to hear.

One love, one blood, one life
You've got to do what you should
One life with each other, sisters, brothers.
One love but we're not the same
We got to carry each other, carry each other
One, one, one, one, one, one...

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free.

A Note From The Gull

Have a great Friday and thank you all for enjoying this beautiful music with me.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
