Undiscovered Country - What If? Lyrics

What if?
You could see
What your future was going to be

A wrinkle in time
In the fabric of space
Relatively speaking
You start at the end of the race

What if your momma
And what if your dad
Felt guilty bout their pleasure
A baby they don't treasure

Everything you are
Everything that you see
Everything that's ever happened to you
Never to be

Who can tell?
Who can see?
What a baby's life gonna be
The next Mandela, Earhart, or da Vinci
A fireman pulls you from a burning building
What if?... What if?... What if?
You were never born... Never born

What if?
You could see your whole life
A Ken Burns mini-series
Over several nights

Would you edit the ending?
Clear history, start new
Or leave the timeline intact
Count your blessings and cruise

What if?
Your parents could see
The difference between... to be or not to be
A glimpse of your future... the sum of all years
A lifetime of memories, all disappear

Who can tell?
Who can see?
What a baby's life's gonna be
The next Astaire Teresa or Dylan
Or just an average Joe who dotes his children

What if?... What if?... What if?
You were never born... Never born
