Make It Happen

Not more than three short years ago

I was abandoned and alone

Without a penny to my name

So very young and so afraid

No proper shoes upon my feet

Sometimes I couldn't even eat

I often cried myself to sleep

But still I had to keep on going

Never knowing if I could take it

If I would make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And now I've found my way



If you believe in yourself enough

And know what you want

You're gonna make it happen

Make it happen

And if you get down on your knees at night

And pray to the Lord

He's gonna make it happen

Make it happen



He's gonna make it happen



I know life can be so tough

And you feel like giving up

But you must be strong

Baby just hold on

You'll never find the answers

If you throw your life away

I used to feel the way you do
