This is my story, I was a girl who came from nothing
And life in my surroundings was bad, yeah
But deep inside me, I would pray for God to guide me
'Cause I knew he'd give me strength for life
And all its problems back then
Living wasn't easy 'cause we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
They told me I was nothing, that I'll never be something
But I knew I would make it someday
Hey, hand me down clothing, empty shelves inside the cupboard
And mama kept three jobs to make do, yeah, yeah
I'd hear her cryin' but she never stopped believing
Three girls, light bills and the rent y'all
'Cause livin' wasn't easy back then, hey
Living wasn't easy 'cause we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
They told me I was nothing, that I never will be something
But I knew I would make it someday, hey, oh
Living wasn't easy 'cause we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
They told me I was nothing, that I never will be something
But I knew I would make it someday, oh, hear me now
By faith I believed one day I'd sing
And things would get better
So go don't give up no matter what it seems
Living wasn't easy 'cause we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
No matter what it's seeming, you gotta keep on dreamin'
And you know that you can make it someday
Living wasn't easy 'cause we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
No matter what it's seeming, you gotta keep on dreamin'
And you know that you can make it someday
Living wasn't easy 'cause we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
No matter what it's seeming, you gotta keep on dreamin'
And you know that you can make it someday
Living wasn't easy 'cause we didn't have much money
But I knew I would make it someday
No matter what it's seeming, you gotta keep on dreamin'
And you know that you can make it someday
