VERSE
You said goodbye and with a word
It seemed my whole world
crashed down to earth.
I cursed your name
and the night so black
And I guess all along
I should have thanked you for that.
‘Cause now I’m out from under
And as I look around I wonder:
CHORUS I
What if everything that
make us sad
Turns out to be not so bad,
That everything that
seems so wrong
Is what I needed all along?
And what if we don’t have a clue?
What if we’re just not meant to?
What if everything in life’s a gift?
What If?
VERSE
Life’s a question, tale untold,
We find all the answers as
it unfolds and
I have learned through
trials and tears
That faith is my freedom,
and it’s stronger than fears.
And what I’ve been afraid of,
Maybe that’s the stuff
dreams are made of.
CHORUS I
BRIDGE
There’s more to the picture
than we can see.
We’re part of a tapestry.
It’s a beautiful mystery.
CHORUS II
What if everything that
make us sad
Turns out to be not so bad,
That everything that
seems so wrong
Is what I needed all along.
And what if things that
made me cry
Made me stronger bye and bye?
And everything they threw my way
Made me who I am today?
And what if I’m just finding out
That trust is what it’s all about?
What if everything in life’s a gift?
What If?
