Verse 1
His brother told him, “Don’t go,”
But he grabbed those keys anyway.
He’d had too much to drink that night,
But nobody could make him stay.
That Kawasaki disappeared
Down a road he’s rode before,
One choice, one decision
Life changed from what we knew before
Verse 2
The phone call came, the whole world stopped,
Nobody knew what to say.
They loaded him up and CareFlight flew
While we begged God to make a way.
Now there’s a room in the ICU
Where we’re counting every breath,
Wondering if he’s gonna wake up
And wondering what comes next.
Chorus
What if you wake up
And nothing looks the same?
What if you wake up
And have to learn a different way?
What if you wake up
And the first thing that you see
Is everything you lost that night
And everything you still could be?
What if you wake up
And you’ve got another chance?
Maybe this ain’t where it ends,
Maybe this is where you start again.
Verse 3
They’re gonna tell you about the crash,
About the things you don’t remember.
They’re gonna tell you how close you came
To never seeing another September.
And you’re gonna have a thousand questions,
You’re gonna wish you could rewind,
But there ain’t no road back to that night,
Only whatever comes with time.
Chorus
What if you wake up
And nothing looks the same?
What if you wake up
And have to learn a different way?
What if you wake up
And the first thing that you see
Is everything you lost that night
And everything you still could be?
What if you wake up
And you’ve got another chance?
Maybe this ain’t where it ends,
Maybe this is where you start again.
Bridge
And I know your brother’s gonna wonder
If he could’ve done more.
He’ll hear those words inside his head
Like a thousand times before.
But he tried to keep you from that bike,
He tried to make you stay.
Sometimes love can’t stop somebody
From making their own mistake.
Final Chorus
So what if you wake up
And nothing looks the same?
What if you wake up
With a whole new kind of pain?
What if you wake up
And it takes some time to see
That losing part of who you were
Don’t mean that’s all you’ll ever be?
What if you wake up
And you’ve got another chance?
Maybe this ain’t where it ends,
Maybe this is where you start again.
Outro
So we’re sitting in that room,
Praying through another night.
We don’t know what tomorrow holds,
We just want you to open your eyes.
Please wake up…
