What if I'm past my prime?
And I wasted precious time?
What if that well runs dry?
Oh my, my, too many anxious nights

What if you leave like my dad did?
What if all our best days are in past tense?
Fears sticking to me like a magnet
Wondering what they gon' say over my casket

All these "what if"s stealing my peace of mind

If I could ever
Learn how to fly
Waving to my worries
I'd be leaving 'em all behind
Light as feather
Kissing the sky
I'd be just like a bird, so high
I'd be just like a bird tonight

What if I grow new life
And their eyes look just like mine?
But what if I can't provide?
Lose my mind?
I just wanna get it right

What if I'm a fake, an imposter?
What if you don't want me anymore on your roster?
Fears coming back like clockwork
Tell me how to make it not hurt

All these "what if"s stealing my peace of mind

If I could ever
Learn how to fly
Waving to my worries
I'd be leaving 'em all behind
Light as feather
Kissing the sky
I'd be just like a bird, so high
I'd be just like a bird tonight

So high
Why should I worry?
The birds never worry, they never worry (Oh)
