First Stanza:
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
Refrain:
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.
Chorus:
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.
You're gonna make it happen, oh yeah
Second Stanza:
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
Refrain:
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 finally found my way.
Chorus:
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen (I know, 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.
Chorus:
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen (If you believe, Yes you are)
Make it happen, yeah
Make it, You're gonna make it
Make it, Ooh make it.
Refrain:
Ooh make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I pray
And I finally found my way.
Chorus:
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. (Yes he is)
Chorus:
If you believe in yourself enough (If you believe, You can make it)
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. (Ooh, ooh)
Bridge:
I once was lost
But know I'm found
I got my feet
On solid ground
Thank you Lord
If you believe
Within your soul
Just hold on tight
And don't let go
You can make it
Make it happen
Gonna make it (5x)
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
