What if it Was Lyrics

by Ashton Shepherd

We all live running in a direction
So sure of where we're going
No slowing down

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e45968-ashton_shepherd~what_if_it_was_lyrics.html ]
Head set on certain thoughts
and conceptions on what we're
gonna do today, tomorrow
Right now

but what if right now vanished
just that quick something can happen
And man, it does

You were never thinking
this is my last second to breathe
but what if it was

What if today they laid you in the ground
What if today your redemptions lost or either found
What if today your loved ones wake without you around
How'd you love, did you do enough
It's a must
What if it was

Late one autumn evening my brother left
saying “y'all I won't be long”
Mama grabbed his arm without reason
and said “Son, today wont you just stay home?”

And his I wont be long vanished
just that quick something happened
God it was tough
Was this supposed to be a lesson for me
What if it was

What if today they laid me in the ground
What if today my redemptions lost or either found
What if today my loved ones wake without me around
How'd I love, did I do enough
It's a must
What if it was

What if it was

We all live running in a direction
We're so sure of where we're going
No slowing down
