Do It

Collecting promises, holding for another day
Time to make a move, time to make your play
Oh, oh, if you wanna do it
Oh, oh, then you should do it
When you left it out to dry, you left it a day too long
Trying to find a place to hide, but you left the light on
Building a fire, found a log but you got no axe
At least if you do something, it’s better than too much chat
Oh, oh, if you wanna do it
Oh, oh, then you should do it
(You can get to it, c’mon)
(You gotta just do it, so c’mon)
A house with no roof no shelter from a storm
A life with no failure no stories to tell at all
We ride alone and hear the words, all the things we tell ourselves
And if we don’t try to do the things we say then what’s the use
Beautiful ideas created and watch these dreams fade away
If we don’t even try and have a go
If we don’t even try and have a go
I say oh, oh, if you wanna do it
Oh, oh, then you should do it
Oh, oh, if you wanna do it
Oh, oh, then you should do it

Make time to take time out
Follow a dream
Through the long summer grass
Into an open field
Wearing your favourite shirt
Not a care in the world
What will you carry
And who stands beside you
Let it feel real nice
Don’t try too hard
Let it simmer right
And know that you are enough
That you are enough
You are enough
You are enough
Always the right time
To take time out
Making a good life
And that is enough
That is enough
Over the ranges
A clear night sky
Something wonderful
And you are enough
Know that you are enough
You are enough
You are enough
You are enough
You are enough
