Marie Osmond - I Can Do This lyrics

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 Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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
