Take a Step
Into the open air.
Take a step outside with me
Into the open air
Beauty will surround you
If you have time to spare.
Walk into the garden
And look up at the sky
As the clouds drift overhead
In heavens up on high.
Burdens weighing on my mind
Ascend and fly away
The music of the wind will ring
On this brand-new day.
Take my hand, and we’ll wander
And drink in magic views
And let blank thoughts evaporate
With all the daily news.
Take deep breaths of purity
And relish the delight
Being in the open air
Morning noon and night.
Take a break from the monotony
Enclosed by solid walls
And listen to the wind whistle
And thrills of the birdcalls.
Come, take a step outside with me
Into the open air
New beauty will surround you
If you have time to spare.
