What If?--Lyrics

By Karen Taylor-Good, Jason Blume and Greg Barnhill

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?
