Doo...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Doo...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

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

You’re gonna make t happen, oh, yeah

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 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 (I know you’re gonna make I 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 (If you believe) enough and know what you want
You’re gonna make it happen (Yes, you are), make it happen (Make I happen)
And if you get down on your knees at night and pray to the Lord (You just gotta hold on)
He’s gonna make it happen, make it happen (Make it happen, yes)

Make it (Make it)
You’re gonna make it
Make it (Make it)
Oh, baby

Ho...oh...oh...oh...
Oh, make it through the night
I held on to my faith, I struggled and I prayed
And 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 (Yes, He is)

If you believe in yourself (If you believe) enough and know what you want
You’re gonna make it happen, make it happen (You can make it)
And if you get down on your knees at night and pray to the Lord
He’s gonna make it happen (Oh), make it happen (Oh...oh...oh...)

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, yeah
You can make it
Make it happen
Gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it, gonna make it

If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want (Gonna make it)
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
