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
|
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 in
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I once was lost
|
But now I'm found
|
I got my feet on solid ground
|
Thank you Lord
|
If you believe within yourself
|
Just hold on tight
|
And don't let go
|
You can make it
|
(Make it happen)
|
|
[Chorus]
