James Leonard - What if? Lyrics

What if I could touch my pen to paper and the words all came to life?
What if I could write about the perfect woman and use this ink to create my wife?
What if my happily ever after was only one more poem away?
What if what I wrote became my future?
I'd be writing each and every day

We all have dreams that will not ever be
We all have hopes that we may never see
We all have things that we wish we could change
I wish I could change all the hurt within me
We all have wants that we will never get
We all have goals that will never be met
We all have problems that we wish we could solve
But please don't give up on your story yet

What if I could touch my pen to paper and create a new life for me?
No more troubles no heartaches or failures; happiness would be all that I see
What if I could change my path with stories?
What if my writings could right my wrongs?
What if I could finally be where I want to be
Just by writing it into my songs?

We all have dreams that will not ever be
We all have hopes that we may never see
We all have things that we wish we could change
I wish I could change all the hurt within me
We all have wants that we will never get
We all have goals that will never be met
We all have problems that we wish we could solve
But please don't give up on your story yet

What if my life has already been written and all the words were not mine to write?
What if there's a life I could never imagine and the author always gets it right?
What if God had wrote a poem about me and this whole story is by his design?
What if this life that I'm living is perfect because this life that I'm living is mine

We all have hopes and dreams that will never be
We all have futures that we want to write
But God I place my trust within your plans because I know that you got my story right

Lord I thank you for the highs and lows because with you I know I'll be alright
With you by my side I know I'll be fine because I know that you got my story right

[Yes I know that you got my story right]
