Lyrics

May you get what you want and be happy
May you get what you need and be free
May you get what you want and still want it
May you get what you need to be free

Teaching Notes

When teaching this in new circles I usually teach the melody only and perhaps the high harmony. Be attentive of the tricky rhythm on “be free” in the second line.

The recording is in A.

4

Level of teaching speed/ difficulty (1 = very easy, 10 = very challenging)
