Originally imagined as a children's song to encourage exploring nature. I think it has good appeal for adults as well.
Lyrics
Have you reached the end of the internet yet?
Have you run out of channels on your little ol' TV set?
How flowers are there on your wall papered walls?
And how do you handle all your apps and your I-Phone calls?
Do you feel like your walls are always closing in?
Where the temperature never changes and the rain can't get in.
Has your remote control become your best friend?
Do you control it or does it really make your head spin?
Chorus..
Fireflies and lightening light up the evening sky.
The coolness of the breeze is sweeter than a cup of wine.
Moments like these are not for sale because they're all for free.
We all live in God's garden
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
-----------------------------------------
Give yourself a break and go ahead and make a move to the great outdoors.
Go for a hike or ride a bike and visit a friend or two.
Take a little time to free your mind and recharge your batteries.
That easy chair's great but don't wait till it's too late.
Chorus...
You say it's too hot but I know a spot where the river's clear and cool.
We could paddle a canoe for a day or two and camp out under the stars.
No I-Pod Phone calls or technical tones to clutter up the air.
You could be right there breathing mountain air.
All you gotta do is get up out of that chair and Go Outside...
I know a canoe and a kayak too that's waiting just for you.
Just down the street there's a band to meet who'll sing you out of your blues.
Go swing on a star it's not that far if you know just where to look.
Go on and put down that book, let's go bait a hook...What d'ya say.
