Could've Been
by Kirk Franklin

Album: Hero

Hook: Trio Unison
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!

V1:
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 get me through."
See that's the reason!

Pre-Chorus
I just can't thank You enough.
No matter how hard I try, Jesus I realize!

Hook

Repeat 1st Verse

Verse 2
See it's easy to complain bout material things, when you don't have to worry bout whatever life brings.
But somebody here tonight, don't know what they gonna eat.
So I got to be careful, cause it could've been me.
See, y 'all, that's the reason.

Pre-Chorus

Hook: 2x
Breakdown: oh oh

Vamp 1:
Thank You, thank You, I thank You it could've been me! repeat

You didn't have to do it no, You didn't have to do it no.
You didn't have to do it, no, thank You! repeat

Breakdown: oh oh

Vamp 1

Music Break

Vamp 2:
Too good to stop now Father, I want to 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 & if you want to help me get up on the floor.

Repeat Vamp 1 & 2 until end
