Verse 1
What if god did not create the earth?
Adam and Eve or a virgin birth
No man from Mecca, nor day of rest
Preachers in pulpits and sins confessed
What if Alex hadn’t passed in his prime?
Or Aristotle never spoken a line
Would East West be all the same side?
What cultures would have grown or died

Chorus
So think twice when turning left or right
Or when a serpent says take a bite
What today makes perfect sense
Actions we take have consequence

Chorus 2
What if Leo had played the clown?
Monas not sure to smile or frown
If Galileo hadn’t gazed at the skies?
We would be the centre of all our lies
What if Isaac never sat neath a tree?
Would there ever be gravity?
History of time been just a notion
If Steven was full of motion

Mid 8
What if the Adolf’s art got a pass?
Or Karl hadn’t got full marks in class?
Clyde not met a Bonnie lass?
Wolfgang never attended mass?

Verse 3
What if the Bills couldn’t read or write
No words of worth on a Twelfth night
Had Charles old man been a man of means
The world be poorer for unwritten scenes
Imagine if Chris had lost his way?
Would the earth be flat and no US of A?   
And if Nikita had not turned back?
The button pressed and the sky turned black
