Make It Happen Lyrics - Greatest Hits - Mariah Carey

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, ho 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, 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, gonna make it 

You're gonna make it 

Gonna make it, 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
