Lyrics:
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 could give all I'm longing to give
I wish I could live like I'm longing to live
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
Though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew

Well, I wish I could be like a bird 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 'cause I'd know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cause I'd know
I'd know how it feels
I'd know how it feels to be free, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'd know how it feels
Yes, I'd know, I'd know how it feels
How it feels to be free, Lord, Lord, Lord, yeah

  • White girl here! Absolutely love this small piece of history...say it loud!!
  • This song never fails to make me sad and happy all at the same time. I'm crying and smiling as I write this comment. I love you Ms Simone and I hope you have found peace.
  • @sskullee
    This song was played at my grandads funeral. May he rest in peace
  • I wish she lived lived long enough to know how much her music was appreciated
  • Wow! How many of my ancestors must have felt these words! Thank You Lord for freedom.
  • This was sung at the memorial service for the 33 year old son of our friends yesterday. Very moving.

    I began singing this song today while making my dessert for the 4th. I think I learned it in grade school. I'm not so much into celebrating America right now. Seems we are and will be losing our freedoms. None of us are free until ALL of us are free.
  • At the end of my prayer time today..I said LORD you know how I love to hear from you..and straight away this song came up on my phone...FREEDOM..is what I want....from what ?...good question...free to be me..free to fly..free to stand on a mountain top and breath in the unpolluted air..free to be bubble inside a bottle of pop...that when it's shook up..to explode with extatic joy...A bird set free from her guilded cage...but first must LEARN..how..to fly.
  • We sung this song in the 5th grade. I'll never forget this song!!
  • This song is about me today in 2021 With all the mess in the world I just long to love and to be free
  • ....no one delivers like nina....starts slow and builds towards something epic that awakens your soul....peace :)
  • Nina Simone's style of singing owes it's beauty, in large part. to her phraseology which means how long she holds or delays the melody before going to the next phrase. Her style is EXQUISITE.
  • This says most of what is to be said...RIP all those who die unjustly...wherever😔
  • This song reminds me so much of my dad. He loved Nina. Now I love her music. It makes me so happy. I can always see my dancing to this. 💖💖💖
