[Intro]
This goes out to you and you and you
You know who you are

[Verse 1]
Hmm, hmm, hmm
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 (A losing fight)
Captive of your demons inside

[Verse 2]
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, love your enemy so just)
Take heed to the Word, it's time
Check Proverbs 19:29
Don't cry

[Chorus]
I wish you well (I wish you well)
I wish you well (I wish you well)
I wish you well (I wish you well)

[Verse 3]
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'll keep you in prayer 'til the end

[Verse 4]
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 (Oh)
Examine first John chapter four, verse four

[Chorus]
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 power of His might

[Bridge]
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 did all that I could (I did all that I could)
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]
So I wish you well
I wish you well
I wish you well

[Verse 5]
(He who the Son sets free is free indeed)
No weapon formed against me shall prosper
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

[Outro]
He that keeps his mind state on the Lord
He will keep them in perfect peace

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
