Step Outside

(Finger snap count-in: 1, 2, 3, 4)

Phone buzz again, another headline scream

The world on fire inside a little screen

I put it down, slide my feet to the floor

There's a whole 'nother world right outside my door

The sun is up and the air is free

A hummingbird just made a friend with me

The neighbor's dog is chasing his own tail

Sometimes the simple things will never fail

Step outside – leave the noise behind

Feel the breeze messing up your mind – the good kind

Step outside – you don't need a plan

Just a pair of shoes and two working hands

Yeah, step outside

I saw a kid draw a heart on the dusty street

Passed a lady selling mangoes – she was sweet

She said: “ Young one, why you rush so fast?

The honey taste better when the moment lasts”

I didn't have an answer, just a silly grin

Bought two mangoes and I ate them with my skin

Juice on my shirt, sun on my neck

Ain't felt this rich since I wrote my first check

Step outside – leave the noise behind (ooh-ooh)

Feel the breeze messing up your mind – the good kind (the good kind)

Step outside – you don't need a plan (no plan)

Just a pair of shoes and two working hands

Yeah, step outside

(Spoken-sung, almost a whisper) “ They say the world is ending every other minute

But look – the grass is still green in it

The sky didn't ask for your subscription fee

So come on now…”

(Band drops – full groove)

Step outside! (piano bubble and horns if available)

Forget the timeline, forget the like

Just your two feet and the open sky

Step outside, yeah

Step outside – leave the noise behind

Feel the breeze messing up your mind – the good kind

Step outside – you don't need a plan

Just a pair of shoes and two working hands

(Ad-lib) “ Mango juice… sunshine… yeah…”

Step outside… “ One more time now…”

Step outside…

(Humming) “ Mmm-mmm… step outside…”
