What If

See the writing on the wall
It didn't get there by mistake
You won't hear these things on the outside
Cause faith's an easy thing to break

And oh, what if the time
Had flown by a little differently
And oh, what if a life
Was given the chance it needs

There are voices still unheard
And there are stories left untold
They are shut inside a chest of drawers
To gather dust as they grow old

And oh, what if the time
Had flown by a little differently
And oh, what if a life
Was given the chance it needs

There are lessons to be learned
By those outside as well as in
What's the use in second chances
If you didn't get one to begin

And oh, what if the time
Had flown by a little differently
And oh, what if a life
Was given the chance it needs
Was given the chance it needs
