And I wish I knew how

And I wish I could s ay
All the things t hat I'd like to s ay

For the w hole round w orld to h ear
I wish I could s hare
A ll the love that's i n my heart
R emove e very d oubt that ke eps us apar t
And I wish yo u could k now
What it m eans to be me
Then you'd see and agr ee
E very m an s hould be f ree

Like I'm l ongin ' to l ive
I wish that I could g ive
All I'm l ongi n' to g ive
And I wish I could d o
All the t hings that I'd like to d o
You know there s till is q uite a f ew

And I'm w ay way o ver d ue
