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
pre
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

and you feel like giving up
but you must be strong baby just hold on

never knowing if i could take it
if i would make it through the night

i struggled and i prayed
and now i’ve finally found my way
