When you owe your life to just one man
You begin to wonder
Why any of it is.
When one change in your past,
Could have unfolded
Into an entirely different future,
You try to understand
Who you would’ve been
If something went just a bit different.
When you owe your reality to just one man
It becomes hard to look
At the other possibilities.
And hard to think
That everything around you
Could be unfamiliar
If you had never met.
It’s humbling to think
How small a change
Can alter every part of life.
One step
Becomes a mile.
One moment
Echoes for so long.
One man
Could change everything without knowing.
When you owe your reality to just one man,
You wonder why.
You wonder what.
You try to picture
The life that never happened.
When you owe your reality to just one man.
