Nina Simone's "I Wish I Knew" Lyrics

The song expresses the singer's desire to experience freedom through breaking chains, sharing love freely without barriers, and living fully as who they are without constraints. They wish to freely say what they want without limits and soar high like a bird in the sky, singing because in that moment they would finally know and feel what it is to be truly free.

Bb,Gm#9,Gm,Eb,F,Bb

Bb Gm Eb Bb
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
Bb Gm F
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
Bb Gm Eb Bb
I wish I could say all the things that I should like to say
Bb Gm#7 Gm
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
Eb F Bb
For the whole round world to hear

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


Remove all the parts 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 longin' to give


I wish I could live like I'm longin' to live
I wish I could do all the things that I can do
Though I'm way over due
I'd be startin' anew

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky


How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
I'd soar to the song and look down at the scene
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, yeah
Then I'd sing 'cos I know, I'd know how it feels
