What If It Was - Ashton Shepherd

We all live running in a direction

So sure of where we’re going

No slowing down

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 redemption’s lost or either found

What if today your loved ones wake without you around

How did you love, did you do enough

It’s a must

What if it was

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 won’t you just stay home?»

And his I won’t 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

Cause what if today they laid me in the ground

What if today my redemption’s lost or either found

What if today my loved ones wake without me around

How did 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
