Dr. King: Remembering An American Hero

Free At Last*

I wish by golly I could spread my wings and fly

And let my grounded soul be free for just a little while

To be like eagles when they ride upon the wind

And taste the sweetest taste of freedom for my soul

CHORUS:

Then I'd be free at last, free at last

Great God Almighty I'd be free at last

To let my feelings lie where harm can not come by

And hurt this always hurtin' heart

That needs to rest awhile

I wish by golly I could spread my wings and fly

And taste the sweetest taste of freedom for my soul

CHORUS:

Then I'd be free at last, free at last

Great God Almighty I'd be free at last

I'd be free at last, free at last

Great God Almighty I'd be free at last

*Lyrics to the song Free At Last from the Broadway musical, Big River. Music and lyrics by Roger Miller.
