Make It Happen - VH1 Divas Live

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 it 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 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

If you believe in yourself enough

And know what you want

You're gonna make it happen

Make it happen

You're gonna 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

If you believe in yourself enough

And know what you want

You're gonna make it happen

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

Make it happen, yes

Make it

You're gonna make it

Make it

Oh, make it

Oh-oh, oh, make it through the night

I held on to my faith

I struggled and I prayed

And finally found a 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 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 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, you're gonna make it

You're gonna make it

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

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
