If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out Lyrics
Cat Stevens
Lyrics
Well if you want to sing out, sing out .
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
Well you can do it today
Well you can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see, ah ah ah, it's easy ah ah ah
You only need to know
Well if you want to say yes, say, "Yes"
And if you want to say no, say, "No"
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are
You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
Well you can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see, ah ah ah, it's easy, ah ah ah
You only need to know
Well if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
