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
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
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
Make it happen
Make it
He s gonna make it
Make it
gonna make it
make it through
the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and
I prayed
And now I ve finally
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
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 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
gonna make it
gonna make it
gonna make it
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
