What If
What if she had a mommy to hold her had a daddy to love her
A warm place to sleep and clean water
What if he knew how to keep his temper
Wouldn't be in a juvi center guilty of losing his pride
What if the world had never heard of cancer
She would have been a ballet dancer could've brought the stage to life
Could've brought the stage to life
What if for once he came home sober
Swore to god it'd be over she wouldn't have to hide
What if he was born to be a performer instead of selling rock on the corner
Guess we'll never know
What if she was meant to be an actress
She sure had a lot of practice gripping the pole to get by
Gripping the pole to get by
Why do we wait when it's too late
Destiny doesn't have to be fate
Could've given you my hand
'stead of watching you land
Caught you before the free fall began
What if there's a way to rise from the pain
Rewind the time restart the world
Past the point of no return
What if he could've waited a little longer Could've been a little stronger
Found a way to make it through the night
What if she had a chance to go to college
Instead of living with the knowledge
She could've done more with her life
What if he didn't try to impress her drive that little bit faster
Racing to the end of his life
What if he didn't care about skin colour
The man he killed could've been his brother
Now he's doing twenty to life
Why
Why do we wait when it's too late Destiny doesn't have to be fate
Could've given you my hand
'stead of watching you land
Caught you before the free fall began
What if there's a way to rise from the pain
Rewind the time restart the world
Past the point of no return
What if she had a mommy to hold her and a daddy to love her
