Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
and if you want to be free, be free

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to love low, live low
Cause there's a million ways to go, you know that there are
You can do what you want
The opportunities are
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 only need to know
Well if you want to say yes, Say yes

::WIKI "FACTS"::
It first appeared in the 1971 film Harold and Maude.
Stevens wrote all the songs in Harold and Maude in 1970-1971, during the time he was writing and recording his Tea for the
Tillerman album. However, "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" and two other songs from that period were not released as singles nor placed on any album at that time. No official soundtrack was released from the film at that time. The song was finally released later on Stevens' 1984 album, Footsteps in the Dark: Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 along with his other previously unreleased songs. In addition, it appeared on the UK edition of his 2003 album The Very Best of Cat Stevens.
