♫ Verse 1:
Am/D                                Bb
   Not more than three short years ago
I was abandoned and alone
Am/D                     Bb
   Without a penny to my name
So very young and so afraid
Am/D                       Bb
   No proper shoes upon my feet
Sometimes I couldn't even eat
Am/D                       Bb                                   Bbmaj7
   I often cried myself to sleep
But still I had to keep on going

♫ Pre-Chorus:
Bbmaj7 Am7                Bbmaj7
Never  knowing if I could take it
           Cm7/F   F7/A        Bbmaj7
If I would make it through the night
                Csus4/A                  G9
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
             Gm7/C    Dbaug
And now I've found my way

♫ Chorus:
Am7/D                          Dm7      Bb
  If you believe in yourself enough and know what you want
 Bb6         Bb6     Am7/D        Dm7 Bb       Bb6  Bb6
You're gonna make it happen (Make it  happen)
Am7/D                                    Dm7      Bb
   And if you get down on your knees at night and pray to the Lord
 Bb6       Bb6     Am7/D        Dm7 Bb       Bb6
He's gonna make it happen (Make it  happen)

♫ Verse 2:
       Am/D                         Bb
I know life can be so tough
And you feel like giving up
       Am/D                 Bb
But you must be strong
Baby just hold on
Am/D                                    Bb
    You'll never find the answers if you throw your life away
Am/D                           Bb                           Bbmaj7
    I used to feel the way you do
Still I have to keep going
