All day long you can turn away from the sun
You can stay inside and wait for the night until dawn
All day long you can think of what has to be done
And sure it is easy to ignore what you've got 'till it's gone
Oh, but please go outside where the sun awaits your skin
And the birds await your ears for you to hear them sing
And go to the beach where your friends await your stories
And their jokes await your laughter and the fire needs your songs
All day long you should live by the rules of that poem you got
From that girl in the bar who knew it by heart but forgot
The name of the guy who wrote it but I didn't care a lot
He said count your blessings and never the things that you haven't got
He said please go outside where the sun awaits your skin
And the birds await your ears for you to hear them sing
And go to the beach where your friends await your stories
And their jokes await your laughter and the fire needs your songs
He said please go outside where the sun awaits your skin
And the birds await your ears for you to hear them sing
And go to the beach where your friends await your stories
And their jokes await your laughter and the fire needs your songs
