I Feel Good
Shirley Lyrics

I wish I knew how
I yearn to discover what it actually feels like

It would feel to be free
to live without restrictions on my expression and movements

I wish I could break
To sever entirely the grip of bondage from me

All the chains holding me
The undue restrictions imposed upon me to limit my abilities

I wish I could say
I desire to share my unfiltered opinion without fear of retaliation

All the things that I should say
I wish to speak honestly and openly without censorship

Say 'em loud say 'em clear
to articulate each term boldly and comprehensibly

For the whole round world to hear
to communicate my purposes universally

I wish I could share
I long to express my passions openly

All the love that's in my heart
The deep fondness and compassion that exists within me

Remove all the bars
Eliminating all forms of obstruction to the connection between individuals

That keep us apart
those elements that separate us from one another

I wish you could know
I wish you had a first-hand experience of

What it means to be me
Understand my life experience and my circumstances

Then you'd see and agree
If you had the same perception, you would probably share my views.

That every man should be free
Everyone should have the right to freedom of movement, expression, and opinion.

I wish I could give
I hope to offer something valuable to those around me

All I'm longin' to give
Everything I am yearning to deliver

I wish I could live
I hope to experience a life

Like I'm longin' to live
the life that I am eagerly craving for

I wish I could do
I Hope to perform

All the things that I can do
The entirety of the actions I am realistically capable of undertaking

And though I'm way over due
Despite being excessively overdue,

I'd be starting a new
I will make a fresh beginning

Well I wish I could be
I Hope to become

Like a bird in the sky
similar to a bird soaring in the sky

How sweet it would be
It would be incredibly delightful.

If I found I could fly
In case I discovered I could be airborne

Oh I'd soar to the sun
I'd ascend towards the sun

And look down at the sea
Then I would glance at the sea from high above

Than I'd sing 'cause I know, yea
I would sing happily as I knew precisely what it feels like

I'd know how it feels
I would have a first-hand understanding of the experience

Oh I know how it feels to be free
I am familiar with how it feels to be liberated

Yea yea! oh, I know how it feels
Yup. Yup! I am very much aware of the sensation

Yes I know
Indeed, I am cognizant of it

Oh, I know
Yes, I am well-aware

How it feels
What it feels like

How it feels
what it feels like

To be free
to live without restrictions on my expression or movement
