I Could Have Said
E
I have seen so much faces
F#m7
As I walk to my age
E
But there’s someone
F#m7
I can never compare;
E
You have the eyes of compassion
F#m7
And the voice of the truth
E
For you were borne out
F#m7
In the midst of the struggle
A G#m
Something makes me feel this strange
F#m B7
Somehow I long for you
As I’ve been watching you
From the day till night
You were singing
The songs of the people;
And the echo resounded
To my thoughts, to my soul
To my music, it ever continued
Something makes me look at you so differently,
Somehow I wanted to be beside you
As thousands march the streets
And the red flags were waving
We’re alongside
The oppressed and disheartened,
You have vowed not to leave them
As we get all the beatings
From a state
That doesn’t care
But you made it clear to me
You made me feel the sweet things of freedom
I’ve been thinking of you
A beauty so perfect
For you are one
With the struggle of the people
But before you have left to the hills and the mountains
I wish I could have said, “I love you.”
I love you (2x)
(Repeat *)
(Repeat **)
You made me feel
Feel the sweet things
The sweet things of freedom
Sweet things of freedom (3x)
