Back2Back: Mariah Carey "Make It Happen" MTV Unplugged

deeply inspiring.....

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)

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 have to keep 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)
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 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)
