What If

what if there were no shadows
no ghosts in our past
no memories, to try and make last
what if the dimensions
were equal to none
well then what would it mean
when we are what we've done

what if there were no seasons
no life and no death
no little round world, to spin 'round the sun
what if everything
were just another lie
well then what would it mean
to say live and let die

what if god
were me and you
what if we could do anything
well then what would we do

right and wrong and black and white
the space between the darkness and the light

raise your glass to life, while you still can
because "what if" doesn't answer anything

what if children were politicians
with no agendas to reach
just innocent lovers, living for peace
what if the end of the world
were just a footstep away
what would you do
what would you say

in a broken home a grown baby cries
mommy dear committed suicide
now her father has passed and she's 35
what if they never apologized
she has two little girls of her own
childhood tears stain an adult face
what if dead regrets could be erased

when will we learn to forget our eyes
focus our sight into the back of our minds

what if blindness is simply a clearer way to see
what if love really is all that we need

what if god
were me and you
what if we could do anything
well then what would we do

right and wrong and black and white
the space between the darkness and the light

raise your glass to life, while you still can
because "what if" doesn't answer anything
