What if?
Preciousgift 2003 (Osun State)
What if there were no letters,
To make up the alphabet?
What if there were no numbers,
to sum up the alphabets?
What if there was no law,
to restrain us from sin?
What if there was no grace,
to cover up for sin?
What if 'I love you' is fake?
Irony's example.
What if there was no us,
Working towards one?
What if there's no future,
today being the best of life?
What if all these are lies,
to make you rethink your stand?
