What If

Lucinda Williams · West [2007]

Shut every thing



What it would mean



It's a present [Incomprehensible]



If a prostitute was queen



What would happen then



How would the world change



If sick became sane



And the world was rearranged



The rains brought down the moon



And daylight was fear



And the sun rose too soon



And then just disappeared



If dogs became kings



And the pope [Incomprehensible]



And hobos had wings



And God was a bone



If houses became trees



And flowers turned to stone



And there were no families



And people lived alone



If buildings started laughing



And windows cried



And feet started clapping



An owl came in sight



If mountains fell in slivers



And the sky began to bleed



And blood filled up the rivers



And prisoners were free



If the stars fell apart



And the ocean dried up



And the world was one big heart



And decided to start



If children grew up happier



And they could run with the wolves



And they never felt trapped or



Or hungry or unloved



If cats walked on water



And birds sat [Incomprehensible]



And we loved one other



In equal amounts
