Kirk Franklin Could've Been
[Chorus:]
It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without your love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been
[Verse One:]
Me in the cold with
(Everything gone)
No house no job
(Outside all alone)
Sitting trying to figure out
(Where I went wrong)
Can somebody help me
(Tell me what do I do)
Can't feed my kids need
(Money for the rent)
Bills after bills but
(Everything spent and)
The enemy telling me you
(Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying
(Lord please see me through)
See that's the reason
(I just can't thank you enough no matter how hard I try Jesus I realize)
[Chorus:]
It could've been me
With no clothes no shoes and no food to eat
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been me
Without your love Lord tell me where would I be
Yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah)
It could've been
[Verse Two: (Tye Tribbett)]
Me in the cold with
(Everything gone)
No house no job
(Outside all alone)
Sitting trying to figure out
(Where I went wrong)
Can somebody help me
(Tell me what do I do)
Can't feed my kids need
(Money for the rent)
Bills after bills but
(Everything spent)
The enemy telling me you
(Might as well quit)
With tears in my eyes crying
(Lord please see me through)
See it's easy to complain
(Bout material things)
When you don't have to worry
(Bout whatever life brings)
But somebody here tonight

[Vamp Two:]
It's too good to stop now father
I wanna give you thanks some more
All the things I've been through now
I see I'm better than I was before
When I think about all you've done
And how you've opened up every door
I can't help but say thank you
And if you wanna help me get up on the floor
[Vamp One]
