Mariah Carey - Make It Happen lyrics

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 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 happen

(Make it happen)

Chorus
