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 have to keep on going
Never knowing if I could take it
If I would make it through the night
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)
