If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
Yusuf Islam
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
You can make it all true
Or 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
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 . . .

Back in the day he was Cat Stevens ☮️ Always liked him & his music 🎶 Still do.
I always remember this song played in the movie Harold & Maude….which I’ve watched a few times….a real hoot of a movie 😁
Good Morning 🎶
So if you want to sleep in, sleep in
And if you want to get up, get up
Cause today there’s nowhere to go
You know what to do
Have a great day ☀️
