Music and Lyrics by Michael Riser

If You Knew

If you knew to the day, the world would stop turning and stars would fall out of the sky
If you knew to the day, that all of your worrying would end in the blink of an eye
If you knew to the day, that all their predictions were wrong and you’d wake up alive
If you knew to the day                             

If you knew to the day, you’d win the lottery and never need money again
If you knew to the day, would you be in ecstasy sharing with family and friends
If you knew to the day, would you list your enemies swearing to take your revenge
If you knew to the day

If you knew, if you knew, would you change anything, if you even wanted to
what would you do

If you knew to the day, God would appear to you homeless and looking for change
If you knew to the day, would you still see Him as dirty and tattered and frayed 
If you knew to the day, would you start believing even though you questioned your faith
If you knew to the day

If you knew, if you knew, would all of life’s mysteries, suddenly make sense to you
what would you do

If you knew all these things would it make you view, the world as you’ve known it as filled with clues
can you honestly answer yourself what you’d do if you knew
                               
If you knew to the day, you would be breathing the very last breath of your life  
If you knew to the day, you would be seeing the ones you love for the last time
If you knew to the day, It all would be over and your time had finally arrived
If you knew to the day   

If you knew, if you knew, would you change anything, if you even wanted to
If you knew, if you knew, would all of life’s mysteries suddenly make sense to you
Could you honestly answer yourself what you’d do if you knew, what the world held for you

If you knew, If you knew, If you knew, If you knew



An Alternative Country, Soft Rock styled introspective soul searching song which asks the question, "If You Knew (what the future held for you) would you change anything?", in the style of John Lennon's Beatles' classic, "Imagine".
