What if the Tower of Pisa toppled over?
What if somebody painted the White Cliffs of Dover?
What if Mona Lisa’s smirk turned into a frown?
What if Lady Liberty suddenly sank all the way down?

The World would go on; nothing would change.
But wouldn’t everything feel just a bit strange.

What if the Christ child had never been born?
What if Christ’s veil had never been torn?
What if He hadn’t rolled away the tomb’s stone?
What if He had left us here all alone?

The World would have gone on, nothing would have changed.
We’d all feel hopeless in a world left deranged.

The World would have gone on, but everything did change,
Because He died leaving us, with hope, unestranged.
