I Wish You Well Lyrics

Mariah Carey

This goes out to you and you And you know who you are
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
So you sought an enemy (I'm not your enemy) Like times before, to mock ignorantly (He lives in you, you know it's true) (But the Lord said love your enemy so just) Take heed to the Word, it's time Check Proverbs 19:29, don't cry
I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well
I truly wanted solidarity Still wearing my blinders back then (So much I didn't see) I weep for what I've dreamed we all could be (I still weep, still weep, still weep) I'll keep you in prayer till the end
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 first John Chapter 4, Verse 4
And I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well
{Be strong in the Lord and power of His might}
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 Philippians 4:9 (No, not) (Put it into practice and the God of Peace will be with you)
So I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well (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 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, I wish you well
{He that keeps his mind state on the Lord} {He will keep them in perfect peace}

Simply gorgeous! This reminds me of VANISHING from her very first eponymous album, back in 1990, at the time of her first Number One masterpiece (at least vocally, she never ever reached such a high note again, it was C7, I think... WOW!), VISION OF LOVE. Well, as concerns high notes, she does not joke even here, but pathos and interpretation rule here most of all: after 15 years, well, almost 20 actually, 18 to be precise, she surely has become much much better at singing. She bursts out her highest tones three times at least here, and once out of the three she really sounds like a doorbell (in the good sense, obviously...)! The whole album "E=MC2" sees her at her best ever, I think, and as MIGRATE and TOUCH MY BODY open the record on a higher note (metaphorically, above all, and also literally, but I repeat, that is sooo pleasant, but not as important as the former...), BYE BYE and I WISH YOU WELL close it on the same level, maybe going even further Excellent! More than the 5 stars allowed, if one could (think about it, cuz 6 stars wouldn't hurt nobody, would they?): Mariah is definitely past her crisis...!! Bye bye, and I wish you well too.
