lirik lagu gatton - what if...
[verse 1]
born 1945, the son of a preacher
he had every odd in his favor
potential and a destiny was not enough
for him to really know his worth
he was plagued by the pressure of perfection
finding peace at the bottom of the bottle
although his wife and two young kids looked at him for love
they grew calloused by the father that he never was
[chorus 1]
so what if he was there when they needed him the most?
and what if he could hinder them from wondering their worth?
what if he could take back all the empty guarantees
and be the man that he was born to be?
[verse 2]
born 1968, the son of an addict
hope was dim for a brighter future
misunderstood and overlooked, he was burdened
by the father that he never truly had
he longed to break the barrier of generations
not finding truth in the lies he always heard
he was climbing to success, not falling to defeat
becoming what his father tried but never could be
[chorus 2]
so what if he had given up when he wanted to give in?
and what if every lie he heard he started to believe?
what if like his dad, he just threw it all away
and never was the man that he was born to be?
[verse 3]
born 1998, a boy with a future
he has every odd in his favor
potential and a destiny are in his hands
creating his own legacy
living under the weight of expectations
as he tries to find his worth in what is true
grounded by the roots of those who show him love
with a choice to change what came before and what is to come
[chorus 3]
so what if he could learn from all his family’s past mistakes?
and what if he just takes a chance to become something great?
what if this is what meant to be, to help him see the truth (to help him see the truth)
to be the man that he was born to be?
[outro]
oh, what if?
oh, what if?
