[Hook]
    Living Wasn't Easy
  Cuz We Didn't Have Much Money
  But I Knew I Would Make It Someday.
  They Told Me I Was Nothing
  That I'd Never Be Something
  But I Knew I Would Make It Someday
    [Verse 1]
    This Is My Story, I Was A Girl Who
  Came From Nothing & Life In My Surroundings
  Was Bad. But Deep Inside Me
  I Would Pray For God To Guide Me
  Cuz I Knew He'd Give Me Strength For Life
  And All It's Problems Back Then.
    [Verse 2]
    Hand Me Down Clothing
  Empty Shelves Inside The Cupboard
  And Mama Kept Three Jobs To Make Do
  I'd Hear Her Cryin
  But She Never Stopped Between
  3 Girls, Light Bill & The Rent Ya'll
  Livin Wasn't Easy Back Then
    [Bridge]
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh--------[Backgrounds]
  By Faith I Believed One Day I'd
  Sing & Things Would Get Better
  So Don't Give Up No Matter What It Seems
  (Modulate)
    [Hook 2]
    Livin Wasn't Easy
  Cuz 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
