Don’t Feel Like Hiding

 

Don’t Feel Like Hiding

(Tune to "Don’tFeel Like Dancing" by Scissor Sisters)

Wake up as the morning sun shines light into the world.

Sun beams rotate in the sky through onward marching clouds.

I really want to go outside to work in this lovely day

But, I must build a strong career and also get my pay.

 

So I play along and drive my car to work

I’m gonna be the one who gets it right

With each new project, I build my folio.

To freelance, I must have foresight

 

But, I don’t feel like hiding on this lovely summer day

I’d rather be outside, in all seasons I can play

You think that I could hang a picture in my little office bay

But, why am I inside on this cheerful summer day?

 

Don’t feel like hiding inside

Even on the crisp, cold winter mornings

Don’t feel like hiding inside

Even in the hot summer afternoons

Don’t feel like sitting inside

Rather be outside working and playing in the day, its true, true, true

 

I know there’s stinky mud, hot days and nipping winter snow

But it’s no worse than rank car fumes that blow in from the road

And city garbage bins will stink in gross, wet rainy weather

So why not be outside with strength, enjoy this world together

 

So, as the night comes and stars rotate through the sky

I want to step outside to see them shine

As stars rise and fall, I know time’s passing by

But I work inside and miss a sight sublime

 

But I don’t feel like hiding on this lovely summer night

I look around to see the small fireflies’ flashing lights

You think I’d be too tired but instead my heart excites

And I don’t feel like sitting in my home, no not tonight.

 

Don’t feel like staying inside

Sometimes you gotta change the trend

Don’t feel like hiding inside

The work will be there it never ends

I feel like going outside

Rather change lyrics in my own life and walk the path I choose, choose, choose.

 

I can switch the flow of life

By doing good freelance design

Make my skills applied

So I don’t have to work from eight to five

 

So I don’t feel like hiding, I’ll even haul some hay

When I could work a few hours and get a whole day’s pay

I can take my laptop with me to use in any way

So, I want to be working outside it’s too nice a day

 

Don’t feel like hiding inside

When the sun beams come with the dawn

I want to be standing outside

When the moon is shining on the lawn

Don’t feel like staying inside

Rather be enjoying the world there’s no time to lose, lose, lose
