(Verse 1) 

    G#5    C5     C5         C#5   D#5   G#5  
  I wish  I knew how, it would feel    to be free

    G#5                          D#5
  I wish I could break, all the chains holding me

    G#5   C5      C5       C#5    D#5    G#5
  I wish I could see,   everything  I had to see

          G#5    C5         C5          D#5         D#5      G#5
  Sing it loud,    sing it clear, for the whole round world to hear



(Verse 2) 

    G#5   C5      C5          C#5       D#5   G#5     
  I wish I could share, all the love that's in my heart

    G#5                      D#5
  Remove all the bars, that keep us apart

    G#5   C5        C5        C#5   D#5   G#5 
  I wish you knew, how it would feel    to be me

             G#5   C5     C5       D#5   D#5       G#5
  Then you'd see,    and agree, everyone   should be free

(Verse 3)

    G#5   C5      C5         C#5  D#5    G#5   
  I wish I could give, all I'm long---ing to give

    G#5                          D#5
  I wish I could live, like I'm longing to live

    G#5   C5      C5   C#5      D#5     G#5
  I wish I could do everything that I could do

             G#5   C5     C5       D#5    D#5  G#5
  Though I'm way     overdue, I'd be start--ing  new



(Verse 4)

    G#5   C5      C5     C#5  D#5    G#5
  I wish I could be like a bird   in the sky

      G#5                     D#5 
  How sweet it would be if I found I could fly

      G#5   C5     C5        C#5  D#5    G#5
  I'd soar to the sun and look down  at the sea

          G#5    C5         C5
  And I'd sing,    cause I know *echo and repeated*

  I sing because I know

G#5         C5      C5    
  I sing because I know

G#5         C5      C5    
  I sing because I know

       D#5   D#5       G#5
  Everyone   should be free.
