Lyrics

What If...written by John Jump

What if it were true,
What if you were wrong,
What if that pillar you’ve been leaning on
Came tumblin’ and crashing down?

And your message in the bottle
Cast to the ocean blue
Came back empty to you?
-------------------------------------
What if she was right,
What if she could see
The grains of truth
Upon which you disagree

And you were blinded
By your own false light,
Believing you had sight?

Chorus:
Truth is one and one is three
We only believe what we want to see.
We only hear the songs that we’re open to
As we sing that lonely chorus through the night.
-----------------------------------------------------------
What if the prophet
High on his golden throne,
Was a lying sinner
Singing all alone?

With empty words
And promises for you,
And not a word that he spoke was true.
-------------------------------------------------
What if you and I
Were rolling on the sea,
Castaways in a life raft,
Would we argue and disagree?

Would we paddle together,
Would we paddle apart
listening only to a stubborn heart?
-----------------------------------------
Chorus:
Truth is one and one is three
We only believe what we want to see.
We only hear the songs that we’re open to
As we sing that lonely chorus through the night.
