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 couldnt 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 Ive found my way
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
Youre gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
Hes gonna make it happen
Make it happen
Youre gonna make it happen, oh, yeah
I know life can be so tough
And you feel like giving up
But you must be strong
Baby, just hold on
Youll never find the answers
If you throw your life away
I used to feel the way you do
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 Ive finally found my way
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
Youre gonna make it happen
Make it happen
Youre gonna make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
Hes gonna make it happen
Make it happen
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
Youre gonna make it happen
Make it happen, make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
Hes gonna make it happen
Make it happen
Make it happen, yes
Make it
Youre gonna make it
Make it
Oh, make it
Oh-oh, oh, make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And finally found a way
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
Youre gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
Hes gonna make it happen
Make it happen, yes, he is
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
Youre gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
Hes gonna make it happen
Make it happen
I once was lost
But now Im found
I got my feet
On solid ground
Thank you, Lord
If you believe
Within your soul
Just hold on tight
And dont let go
You can make it
Make it happen
Yeah, you can make it
Make it happen
Gonna make it, youre gonna make it
Youre gonna make it
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
Youre gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
Hes gonna make it happen
Make it happen
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
Youre gonna make it happen
Make it happen
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
Hes gonna make it happen
Make it happen
