(Verse 1)
G# C7 Cm7/F C#/D# D#7 G#
I wish I knew how, it would feel to be free
G# D#7
I wish I could break, all the chains holding me
G# C7 Cm7/F C#/D# D#7 G#
I wish I could see, everything I had to see
G# C7 Cm7/F D#7 D#9 G#
Sing it loud, sing it clear, for the whole round world to hear
(Verse 2)
G# C7 Cm7/F C#/D# D#7 G#
I wish I could share, all the love that's in my heart
G# D#7
Remove all the bars, that keep us apart
G# C7 Cm7/F C#/D# D#7 G#
I wish you knew, how it would feel to be me
G# C7 Cm7/F D#7 D#9 G#
Then you'd see, and agree, everyone should be free

I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live
G# C7 Cm7/F C#/D# D#7 G#
I wish I could do everything that I could do
G# C7 Cm7/F D#7 D#9 G#
Though I'm way overdue, I'd be start--ing new
(Verse 4)
G# C7 Cm7/F C#/D# D#7 G#
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
G# D#7
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
G# C7 Cm7/F C#/D# D#7 G#
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
G# C7 Cm7/F
And I'd sing, cause I know *echo and repeated*

Everyone should be free.
