Come Outside

My kids love corny little songs.
The type they can remember easily and sing over and over.
So this is for them.
It sounds best while humming the theme to "Sesame Street".


Come outside!
Sun is up in the sky
Clouds float by revealing a space so blue

Can you hear the chirps and tweets
Of birds rejoicing a day that’s new?

Come outside!
Let’s explore far and  w i d e
On this trail to where the trees grow tall

Can you feel the air breeze past
As leaves swirl and start to fall?

There’s a great big world out there
Mountains, rivers, hills and streams
Open for people like you
Just for people like you

So wake up and now-

Come outside!
Hear the waves roll on by
Shoreline  s m o o t h  and cool beneath our feet

Can you smell the salty air
And its promise of midday heat?


Come outside!
