What If (Live at Freeman Coliseum / 1999)

Lyrics

[Intro: Scott Stapp] "What If," my friends [Verse 1: Scott Stapp] I can't find the rhyme in all my reason Lost sense of time and all seasons Feel I've been beaten down By the words of men who have no grounds Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom Your axe has cut the roots that feed them Forked tongues in bitter mouths Can drive a man to bleed from inside out [Chorus: Scott Stapp] What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye? [Verse 2: Scott Stapp] 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 thе times you've been walked on My stagе is shared by many millions 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 [Chorus: Scott Stapp] What if you did? What if you lied? What if I avenge? What if eye for an eye? [Bridge: Scott Stapp] I know I can't hold my 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, what if I? What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I? What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I? What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I? [Chorus: Scott Stapp] 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? Alright, I wanna hear you scream, "What if," come on [Outro: Crowd, Scott Stapp] (What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I?) What if, what if, what if, what if, what if I? Yeah Let me catch my breath
