Lyrics
You are the voice of reason, checking your list
Waiting for the seasons to change
You keep right on schedule, taking the high road and making
sure to stay in your lane
Why don't you do it different
I don't believe it could be that hard for you to seize the moment
and take some time to Come Out and Play, hey hey
Take some time to Come Out and Play
Spoken: I think your kids could use some of your presence, and
I don't mean the kind you can wrap up with ribbon
I mean P R E S E N C E presence
Take a closer look, somewhere inside theirs a lesson
I think you missed the point of what it means to communicate
Just use some body language and maybe you won't be too late
Spoken: Take your shoes and socks off and play in the sand
Throw your hat and coat off and take your baby's hand
Why don't you do it different
I don't believe it could be that hard for you to seize the moment
and take some time to Come Out and Play, hey hey
Take some time to Come Out and Play
Spoken: Take your shoes and socks off and play in the sand
Throw your hat and coat off and take your baby's hand
Take some time to Come Out and Play, hey hey
Take some time to Come Out and Play
