Mariah Carey - Make It Happen Live At Live 8 Hyde Park London 2nd July 2005 Lyrics

[Intro]
What's up everybody!
We're gonna try and make it happen for you tonight
Is that alright?

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
If you believe in yourself enough
And know what you want
You're gonna make it happen
Make it happen, that's right
And if you get down on your knees at night
And pray to the Lord
He's gonna make it happen
Make it happen
[Verse 2]
Ay! 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, no
I used to feel the way you do
But still I had 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

[Chorus]
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, ooh yeah

[Chorus]
If you believe in yourself enough (if you believe)
And know what you want (yes you are)
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
[Interlude]
Ohhhh
Make it through the night
I held on to my faith
I struggled and I prayed
And now I've finally found my way

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
If you believe in yourself enough (if you believe yes)
And know what you want
(You're gonna make it, you're gonna make it)
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
[Bridge]
I once was lost
But now I'm found
I got my feet on solid ground
Thank you Lord (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

[Hook]
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go
(Let me see your hands!)
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go
(It's a children's choir of African people, put your hands up!)
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go (ever ever let go)
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go (ever ever let go)
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go (ever ever let go)
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go (ever ever let go)
Don't let go, don't ever ever let go (ever ever let go)
Go, go, go
No, no, no, don't let go!

[Chorus]
If you believe in yourself enough
(If you believe yeah yeah yeah yes)
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

[Chorus]
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
