[Verse 1]
What I was to what I am today
I carried dust and I carried pain
I smiled through storms, I stayed in line
But I lost a little piece of mine
Fighting with my own battles
Every day got its own rattles
Some nights I barely make it through
Still I wake up for me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could reach up to the sky
I wouldn’t ask for money or a car to drive
I’d keep it simple, keep it true
A little mercy for me and you
[Chorus]
If I had three wishes, I’d know just what to do
(Three wishes, three wishes)
First be healthy, for me and you
Second, take the bad people far away
Third, find happiness, let it stay
For me and my kids, let it stay
(For me and my kids)
[Verse 2]
Little shoes by the front door
Their laughter makes me fight for more
I’ve seen hard times, I’ve seen shame
But I won’t let it break our name
I’m not perfect, I’m still here
Still shaking off that old fear
Trying to build a better day
One small step, one prayer away
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could reach up to the sky
I wouldn’t ask for money or a car to drive
I’d keep it simple, keep it true
A little mercy for me and you
[Chorus]
If I had three wishes, I’d know just what to do
(Three wishes, three wishes)
First be healthy, for me and you
Second, take the bad people far away
Third, find happiness, let it stay
For me and my kids, let it stay
(For me and my kids)
[Bridge]
I don’t need a crown, I don’t need gold
Just a strong heart when the nights get cold
If the road gets rough, I’ll still remain
A mother’s love can cut through pain
[Final Chorus]
If I had three wishes, I’d know just what to do
(Three wishes, three wishes)
First be healthy, for me and you
Second, take the bad people far away
Third, find happiness, let it stay
For me and my kids, let it stay
(For me and my kids)
What I was to what I am today
I’m fighting, but I’m here to stay
