    What If

    2007

    What if the home that you’ve been making
    And the smile that you’ve been faking
    Have left you lost in space
    Feeling anything but free?

    Will you let go of the past
    To reveal your fate at last?
    And will you rise to meet the tide
    To restore your inner pride?

    What if the bread that you’ve been breaking
    And the hands that you’ve been shaking
    Have brought you face to face
    With your own worst enemy?

    Will you open up your mind
    To accept the worlds you find?
    And will you let yourself forgive
    To restore your zest to live?

    What if the dream that you’ve been shaping
    And the path that you’ve been taking
    Have brought you to a place
    That is neither land nor sea?

    Will you find it in your heart
    To make a fresh new start?
    And will you stretch your very soul
    To reach that higher goal?
