THE GREAT OUTDOORS

I’m going outside today 
to feel the sun on my face.
No longer looking at the cars gone by,
through with feeling stuck inside,
I’m going outside today.

I’m coming out of my cage,
sick of feeling older than my age. 
Always taught to speak with distinction, 
listen well and fight distraction.
So I’m coming out of my cage.

Cause and effect, love and respect -
tools of the trade but seldom used on self, until now.
Cause I’ve been working far too long to get this far.

A deeper understanding of my gut,
which doors to open and which to keep shut.
When the fog has settled, 
and when the smoke has cleared,
you’ll come to find we’re not so fucked.

Cause and effect, love and respect --
tools of the trade but seldom used on self, until now.

Cause I’ve been working far too long, 
been working far too long to get this far.
Been working far too long, 
been working far too long to get this far.
