What if?

What if I hold my head and cry?
What if I do not even try?
What if I did let my light die?

But what if I spread my wings and fly?
To see what ahead of me might lie?
What if I run and jump and sing
And make the most of everything?

What if I fail? What if I fall?
What if I even lose it all?
What if I do not hear His call?

But what if I take the risk and jump?
And clamber up over this hump?
What if I reach up to the skies?
And finally open my eyes?

What if is good.
What if is bad.
What if can make you sad or glad.
What if can set your ship a-sail.
What if can set you up to fail.
What if can show your future to be
Or it can leave you lost at sea.
