Don't Overthink

Go with the flow
Where zephyrs blow
Parallel the weather
Light as a feather
Set it adrift 
Life is a gift
Open your heart
Play up the part
Let your mind soar
Your passions roar
Wonder if you have a hit
Stop don’t overthink it
You risk paralysis
With excess analysis
Set your dreams free
You be you and I’ll be me
