"I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free" (music Billy Taylor, lyrics Dick Dallas)

Anthem for service on July 7th, 2024
Pianist: Adam Waite
I WISH I KNEW HOW IT WOULD FEEL TO BE FREE
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 round world to hear
I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart
Remove all the walls that keep us apart
I wish you could know what it means to be me
Then you'd see and agree
That every man should be free
I wish I could be like a bird up in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Oh, I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And then I'd sing because I'd know
I'd sing because I'd know
Oh yes, I'd sing because I'd know how it feels to be free
