I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free

Nina Simone

live do share break say fly give be knew know

Listen and fill the gaps with the correct verb.

I wish I …………………… how it would feel to be free

I wish I could ………………… all the chains holding me
I wish I could …………… all the things that I should say
Say them loud, say them clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could …………….. all the love that's in my heart

remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could …………… what it means to be me
And you'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could ………………… all I’m longing to give

I wish I could ……………….. like I’m longing to live
I wish I could ………………. all the things that I can do
And though I’m way overdue I’d be starting new.

I wish I could ………………. like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be if I found that I could ……………….
Well I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing ‘cos I know how it feels to be free
