Come on now

Chorus:

If you want it to happen baby

Hold fast and believe

You can make it happen baby

You can be where you please

All you gotta do is try

The try once again

Then try a few more times

Then try after then

When I was a little girl

Raised on North Philly streets

I'd hear my people say

Ghetto is all there be

But my mommy would hold me,quietly give me peace

She look me in my eyes

And she say to me

Chorus:

If you want it to happen baby,

Hold fast and believe

You can make it happen baby

You can be where you please

All you gotta do is try

Then try once again

Then try a few more times

Then try after then

As a teenager,I dreamed to see the world

But how could I do this?

Me,a poor black girl

And just when my will was lost and all hope seem set free

I remember my mommas face and her tellin me

Chorus 1x

Try try try try try try try try try

Try and try again

Try try try try try try try try try

Now as a grown woman

I still stumble and fall

But with the light of faith and the same amount of effort

I can withstand it all

I done seen some things now ya'll

And been a few places

I'm now enjoyin the beautiful world and

The many new faces

Now

Chorus 1x

If you want it to happen baby (6x)
