I Can Do This - Marie Osmond

There’s a little boy waiting for the bus

On Third Avenue’s edge

He holds 25 cents for the ride in his freezing fist

'Cause that’s the only way he can make it

Cross town for an education

But he thinks

I can do this

There’s a little girl on the other side of the city

Drying her eyes

'Cause she’s going to school with her new look for the first time

She puts her hat over her balding head

And gives her mom her kiss

And she says

I can do this

They try so hard each day just to survive

Two kids

So young, so precious

Trying to fight for their lives

They are so strong

Even after all the heartache they’ve been living with

And if they can do that

I can do this

There’s a woman in a bedroom packing up her bags

She knows she has to move fast if she wants to get away

She looks at her body covered in bruises

And she turns to her kids and thinks

I can do this

They try so hard each day just to survive

A mother and her children having to run for their lives

They are so strong

Even after all the heartache they’ve been living with

And if they can do that

I can do this

Yes, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do

But when I think of all the pain and suffering

Others have gone through

I know that somehow I’ll survive

God will see us through

I can do this

I can do this

I can do this

I can do this

God will see us through
