I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free lyrics - Andra Day

(originally by Nina Simone)
(from "Acrimony" soundtrack)

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 bars
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 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
All the things that I should say
Say 'em so loud say 'em so clear
For the whole round world to hear
