Where Going Out Is Really Going In - By Dan'l MclLhenny

You know those woods close to home 

Today’s an invitation, care to roam? 

Yes, take the dog so you are not alone 

Or ask a neighbor friend 

  

I promise you there’s always beauty there 

Half a zillion living things - you have never seen before 

Nature charms us with her open door 

Where going out is really going in 

  

Dismiss the routines…untie the bond of constant din 

Embrace your wild child next of kin 

Fill up your senses…enjoy the feel upon your skin 

Found on any given day 

  

I promise you there’s always beauty there 

Half a zillion living things - you have never seen before 

Nature charms us with her open door 

Where going out is really going in 

  

Remember one step followed by another 

Leads to places unlike every single other 

Take a trail, seek, and find your kind Earth Mother 

Who cares more, than people seldom ever understand 

  

I promise you there’s always beauty there 

Half a zillion living things - you have never seen before 

Nature charms us with her open door 

Where going out is really going in 

  

When obligations stack-up like nag-nasty, to-do’s do 

Escape a while simply choose your slice of day 

If not those friendly, welcome woods, I am sure the hillside holds the goods 

Revealing views to change the mood that chase your grays away 

It’s amazing how a nearby stream turns reflection into dream 

And stitches us again as peaceful partners with this world 

  

I promise you there’s always beauty there 

Half a zillion living things - you have never seen before 

Nature charms us with her open door 

Where going out is really going in 

Nature charms us with her open door 

Where going out is really going in
