I'm going downtown

I'm opening the front door

I'm walking out to find

a new group of choices

to take over my mind

should I go that way?

should I go this?

should I make up for

the time that I've missed?

all this time at home

has messed me around

I'm going downtown

I know that it's scary

and that it's unknown

but it's a whole lot better

than staying at home

I could hear music

I could hear jokes

I could listen in

when strangers have spoken

all this time at home

has gotten me down

I'm going downtown

right there's an Uber

right there's a bus

mass transit is good

for a whole lot of us

take me somewhere

I don't even know

point me the way

and I'll be sure to go

all this time at home

is not safe and sound

I'm going downtown
