Make It Happen
Mariah Carey Lyrics

Not more than three short years ago
Just a few years ago, not more than three, I was in a very difficult place in my life.

I was abandoned and alone
During that time, I felt very isolated and like I had no one to turn to.

Without a penny to my name
At that point in my life, I had no money or financial means to support myself.

So very young and so afraid
Despite being very young, I was living in fear and struggling to find my place in the world.

No proper shoes upon my feet
Even basic needs such as proper footwear were difficult to come by.

Sometimes I couldn't even eat
Food was scarce, and I often went without eating.

I often cried myself to sleep
The situation was so difficult that I frequently cried myself to sleep at night.

But still I had to keep on going
Despite the hardships, I knew that I couldn't give up or stop trying to improve my situation.

Never knowing if I could take it, if I would make it through the night
Every day felt like a struggle, and it was uncertain whether I could make it through to the next day.

I held on to my faith
Throughout this journey, I held on to my beliefs and faith in myself and a higher power.

I struggled and I prayed
I fought through the struggles and difficulties every day, while also relying on prayer for guidance and support.

And now I've found my way
After all of the struggles and hard work, I have finally found my path forward.

If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want
Believing in yourself and having a clear vision of your goals is essential for making them a reality.

You're gonna make it happen (Make it happen)
If you have the confidence and determination to keep pushing forward, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

And if you get down on your knees at night and pray to the Lord
Faith and spirituality can be a source of strength and guidance during difficult times.

He's gonna make it happen (Make it happen)
When you have faith, you believe that a higher power will help you achieve your goals.

I know life can be so tough
Life is full of challenges and hardships that can be difficult to overcome.

And you feel like giving up
Sometimes, the struggles can feel overwhelming, and it may seem like giving up is the only option.

But you must be strong
Despite the difficulties, it's important to find inner strength and keep fighting.

Baby just hold on
Even when things seem impossible, it's important to keep holding on and pushing forward.

You'll never find the answers if you throw your life away
Giving up and abandoning your goals will not bring you closer to finding the answers you seek.

If you believe within your soul, just hold on tight and don't let go
Believing in yourself and your dreams, and holding onto that belief through the ups and downs, is the key to achieving them.

You can make it, make it happen
With hard work, determination, and faith, anyone can achieve their goals and make their dreams a reality.

I once was lost, but now I'm found
After enduring many hardships, I have finally found my way forward and a sense of purpose.

I got my feet on solid ground, thank you Lord
Thanks to my faith and hard work, I am finally in a better place in my life.

Make it, you're gonna make it, make it
With perseverance and faith, anything is possible, and you can make your dreams a reality.
