Outdoors & Don't Give Up


All day I've been insideAnd I've got the feelingI'm trapped between the wallsAnd underneath the ceilingI feel a bit off trackAnd now I'm trying to get back
Back in the cool cool airWhere the sun in shiningNothing's gonna stop meIt's all in the timingIt's finally again my turnIt's time to return
Cause I won't stay insideNo more no moreI cannot wait to go outdoorsMmmhmmhmmhmmhey hey hey 
Well open up your doorAnd be like meOpen up your doorAnd then breathe freeLook at all the beauty you'll feelLove love love love
Listen to the music of the windAnd the birdies singWe're just one big familyAnd all of nature deserves to beLoved loved loved loved loved
So I won't stay insideNo more no moreIt cannot waitI'm sureThere's no need to run and hideLet's go exploreIt feels so greatLet's go outdoors
do do do do do do do doEveryone come onCome on out hereWhere the air is fresh and clear
So I won't stay insideNo more no moreIt cannot waitLet's go outdoors
Well open up your doorAnd be like meOpen up your doorAnd then breathe freeLook at all the beautyAnd you'll find the earthAnd the sky is yoursSo please don'tThere's no needThere's no need to hide insideLet's go exploreThis'll this'llIt feels so greatLet's go outdoors
Everybody else(at same time):I won't stay insideNo more no moreIt cannot waitI'm sureThere's no need to run and hideLet's go exploreIt feels so greatLet's go outdoors




When you wanna do something that's new.
And it seems really, really hard to do.
You feel like quiting, you feel you're through.
Well I have some advice for you, don't give up.

Keep on trying, ya'll gonna make it (ah yeah, yeah) don't give up.
Don't ever quit, try and try and you can do it, don't give up (Yeah)

If you want to catch a ball, but you're having no luck at all.
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose.
It hits your belly, your chin and toes.
Well try and try and try again, keep on trying and soon in end.
You'll put your hands out in the air, you'll catch that ball, yes this I swear

Don't give up, keep on going.
You won a fought so keep on rolling
Don't give up, don't ever stop,
Try and try and you'll come on out on top, don't give up.

You got yourself new rollerskates.
You put them on and you feel great,
Stand up, but then you fall, don't think you can skate at all.
You get back up and then you trip
You skip and tip and slip and flip
Well try and try and try some more, and soon you're skating across the floor.

Don't give up, keep on moving.
You're gonna get there just keep on grooving
Don't give up, don't pack it in,
Try and try and you will win, don't give up.
No no no, don't give up [x2]
No no, don't give up.
