I can't find the rhyme in all my reason
Lost sense of time and all seasons

I feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds

I can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them

Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind

Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on

My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this

We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?

I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life

So I'll just ask a question
A Lonely Simple Question
I'll just ask one question

What if? What if? What if? What if I?
What if? What if? What if? What if I?

What if? What if? What if? What if I?
What if? What if? What if? What if I?

What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge
What if eye for an eye?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?
