I Say Do It

If you see a creek, river, or lake
And the sun has been boiling down
Passing it by would be a mistake
You best stop and stand on it's ground
You know you want to cool off

You'll be wet the least little bit

If you have second thoughts about jumpin' in
I say do it

If you see a nice size puddle
And you want to rid some of your woes
Then go ahead and kick your shoes off
And get that mud between your toes

You know it already feels good

It won't be an awkward moment

I say don't think about it

I say do it

If you see a field of flowers
Surrounded by soft, sweet grass
I don't think it should be ignored

It isn't something you wanna pass

It is time to get bare-footed
Hop the fence if you're use to it

You can walk, sprint, or run

But I say do it

If you feel a charming melody

And it makes you move in a way

It moves your body from side to side

As you hear each of the chords play

It lifts your eyes and your head

You don't want it to quit

If you feel like dancing

I say do it

I say do whatever makes you happy
I say write whatever you want to write
I say love who you feel you're meant to love

And everything else will be all right

If there's no one to help pull you through it
I say do it
