Describe your life in an alternate universe.
In an alternate universe, I’d have given into pressure.
In an alternate universe, maybe I have found treasure
Whatever the universe, I’d be on a different path
Probably the one I’d pick last
Maybe in one, I’d be a lot stronger
But in another, I’d be no longer
The long road is life
So many choices along the way
One difference makes a difference
On what happens. What’s fate
For me, I know,
I’d have crumbled pleasing others
I probably would have fallen
My dreams gone to the gutters
What a curious thought: the alternate lives
Some would be better. Some only bring strife.
Look back at your life, the big choices and small
What difference would they bring? Would it matter at all?
They say something’s are set across all universes.
What is it for you? Love? Career? Hearses?
For me, I can’t say.
There’s too many possibilities
But, I guess if I picked one way,
Out of all the activities
I’m a dreamer at heart
It’s really that simple
It’s how I play my part
It’s how I cause a ripple
So no matter the universe,
Good, bad, and ugly
The core of you still matters
And that’s what’s lovely
