FREEBORN


There is a song that I love playing everyday. The song is titled ''I WISH I KNEW HOW IT WOULD FEEL TO BE FREE''. It was sung by Tunde Baiyewu and Paul Tucker when they were still known as the Lighthouse Family. They have parted ways but their songs continue to touch people all around the World. I have two of their Cd's- WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH THE DAY and OCEAN DRIVE. Tunde Baiyewu has such a unique voice and I bet that if he makes heaven, he will be drafted immediately into the choir there. Well, I've not been to heaven before but Tunde's voice is heavenly. He is just outstanding.Here are the lyrics to my popular song. Enjoy.

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I can 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 wide world to hear

I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it feels to be me
Then You'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
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

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say
Say 'em loud, Say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear [3ce]

One love one blood
One life you've got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers

One love but we're not the same
We got to carry each other
Carry each other
One One One One One

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free (END)

Yeah, that it. I love the song. We need to set ourselves free from the hatred and racism that threatens to control the world today. We need to aspire towards certain goals without being limited by the deeds and discouraging words of people. Let us love ourselves genuinely without faking emotions for selfish ends. True love stands the test of time. May the good lord help us succeed in this world. Amen. And how was your day?
