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
