We're Gonna Make It

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We may not have a cent to pay the rent

But we're gonna make it, I know we will

We may have to eat beans every day

But we're gonna make it, I know we will

And if a job is hard to find

And we have to stand in the welfare line

I've got your love and you know you got mine

We're gonna make it, I know we will

We may not have a home to call our own

But we're gonna make it, I know we will

We may have to fight hardship alone

But we're gonna make it, I know we will

'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind

We can't stay down all the time

I've got your love and you know you got mine

We're gonna make it, I know we will

Our car may be old, our two rooms cold

But we're gonna make it, I know we will

We can't even spare a roach a crumb

But we're gonna make it, I know we will

And if I have to carry around a sign

Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"

I got your love and you know you got mine

We're gonna make it, I know we will

We're gonna make it

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

We're gonna make it, y'all

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

It might seem hard sometimes

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

But don't worry about this

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

We're gonna make it

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

We gotta keep on tryin'

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

Things can't stay wrong for us always no no no

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

We're gonna make it,

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

We're gonna make it

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

We're gonna make it oh yes

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)

We're gonna keep on pushin' now,

(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
