What if I'm past my prime and I wasted precious time?
What if that well runs dry?
Oh, my, my, too many anxious nights
What if you leave like my dad did?
What if all our best days are in past tense?
Fears sticking to me like a magnet
Wonderin' what they gon' say over my casket

All these what-ifs stealing my peace of mind

If I could ever learn how to fly
Waving to my worries, I'd be leaving 'em all behind
Light as a feather, kissing the sky
I'd be just like a bird, so high
I'd be just like a bird tonight

What if I grow new life and their eyes look just like mine?
But what if I can't provide, lose my mind?
I just wanna get it right
What if I'm a fake, an imposter?
What if you don't want me anymore on your roster?
Fears coming back like clockwork
Tell me how to make it not hurt

All these what-ifs stealing my peace of mind

If I could ever learn how to fly
Waving to my worries, I'd be leaving 'em all behind
Light as a feather, kissing the sky
I'd be just like a bird, so high
I'd be just like a bird tonight

I'll fly
So high
Why should I worry?
The birds never worry, they never worry
Oh
