What If
Idina Menzel And Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And where will it lead?
Who can know?
But you learn how to love the not-knowing
So here I go
Here I go
Here I go
Take a breath and then fly off the cliff
And you know that there's not turning back
No turning back
No turning back
And you wonder what if?
What if?
The song "What If" by Idina Menzel and Company explores the idea of taking risks and embracing the unknown. The lyrics encourage the listener to step out of their comfort zone and engage with the world around them. The song speaks to the idea that the path ahead is uncertain and that we must learn to embrace the not-knowing. The opening line invites the listener to connect with a stranger which can be a daunting experience. However, the song suggests that when we take risks and open ourselves up to others, we open up a world of possibilities.
The second verse of the song reinforces the idea that taking risks can change everything. The line "take a breath and then fly off the cliff" speaks to the idea of jumping into the unknown and not looking back. It highlights the fact that there is no turning back once we take a leap of faith. The line "and you wonder what if?" can be seen as a rhetorical question. It is a thought that lingers in the mind of the adventurer, but it ultimately doesn't matter because it doesn't hold them back. The song inspires listeners to ask themselves the same question, encouraging them to embrace the what-ifs and take risks in their own lives.
Overall, "What If" is a song that speaks to the power of embracing the unknown and taking risks. The lyrics encourage listeners to step out of their comfort zone and connect with others while embracing the uncertainty of life. The song sends a message of hope and inspires people to take chances and not be afraid to embrace the what-ifs.

You stop and say hey to a stranger
You take a chance to connect with someone new
And where will it lead?
You're unsure about the outcome of this interaction
Who can know?
The future is unpredictable
But you learn how to love the not-knowing
You come to appreciate the excitement of the unknown
So here I go
You're ready to take a risk
Here I go
You're committing to your decision
You choose and then everything changes
Your decision has ripple effects on your life
Take a breath and then fly off the cliff
You prepare yourself for the leap of faith
And you know that there's not turning back
You're fully committed and can't change your mind
No turning back
You've passed the point of no return
And you wonder what if?
You're curious about the alternate path you didn't take

Why is this night different from all other nights?
On all other nights we eat leavened products and matzah, and on this night only matzah.
On all other nights we eat all vegetables, and on this night only bitter herbs.
On all other nights, we don’t dip our food even once, and on this night we dip twice.
On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining, and on this night we only recline.
