Lyrics

[Intro: Mariah Carey] This goes out to you and you and you You know who you are [Verse 1: Mariah Carey] When glory days turn to stormy nights You must have been so petrified — Didn't you? Didn't you feel so cold You against the world in a losing fight Captive of your demons inside So you sought an enemy — I'm not your enemy, He lives in you, you know it's true Like times before to mock ignorantly — But the Lord said love your enemy so just... Take heed to the word it's time Check proverbs 19:29 don't cry [Chorus: Mariah Carey] I wish you well (I... wish you well) I wish you well (I... wish you well) I wish you well [Verse 2: Mariah Carey] I truly wanted solidarity Still wearing my blinders back then — So much I didn't see I weep for what I dreamed we all could be (I still weep still weep still weep) I'll keep you in prayer till the end (oh still bruised) Still bruised still walk on eggshells Same frightened child hide to protect myself — Can't believe I still need to protect myself from you But you can't manipulate me like before (no) Examine 1 John 4:4 [Chorus: Mariah Carey & Bishop Clarence Keaton] And I wish you well (I... wish you well) I wish you well (I... wish you well) I wish you well — Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might [Bridge: Mariah Carey] If my shows of gratitude are minuscule Inside your mind, sorry (I'm so sorry, please forgive me) There's only so much I can do I love you and I did all that I could (I did all that I could) [Verse 3: Mariah Carey] Maybe when you're cursing me You don't feel so incomplete But we've all made mistakes Felt the guilt and self-hate I know that you've been there for plenty Maybe still got love for me But let him without sin cast the first stone brethren But who remains standing then Not you not I see Phillipians 4:9 — Put it into practice and the God of peace Will be with you [Chorus: Mariah Carey] So I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well — He who the son sets free is free indeed [Outro: Mariah Carey & Bishop Clarence Keaton] No weapon formed against me Shall prosper — What time I'm afraid I will trust in the Lord Surely God is my salvation I will trust and not be afraid The Lord the Lord, is my salvation I will trust in Him Yes, I know that I know that I know that I know that I know that I know But I have had God's help to this very day And so I stand here and testify to small and great alike So the more you curse me the more you're blessing me The word said it Love your enemies Do good to those who curse you Pray for those who mistreat you Psalms 129:2 They have greatly oppressed me from my youth But they have not gained victory over me — in Jesus' name I wish you well — He that keeps his mind state on the Lord — He will keep them in perfect peace
