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

[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


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
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]


I once was lost
But now 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


[Chorus]
