You Can Make It
Oh broken promises
And shattered dreams
No hope it seems
Still I believe
That I can make it
By faith I am leading
The King and I
I will survive
And I know I can make it
I can make it
Through the sun shining rain
Make it through my sickness and pain
Make it when they scandalize my name
Make it just as long as the Lord is on my side
Everything I know will be alright
I can make, make it
Out in the cold,
No place to go
Still there is hope
Where the doors are closed
That I, I can make it
I can make it
You can make when mother is gone
Make it
Sometime you may feel like you're all alone
Make it
You don't have nobody to depend on
Make it
Always remember God is still on the throne
I can make it
The enemy wants all of us to fail
Make it
But God is gonna make us the head and not the tail
Make it
All you gotta do is make up in your mind to make it
Make it
You can make it
Just as long as the Lord
Just as long as the Lord
Is on my side
The Lord is on my side
Everything I know
Everything I know
Will be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright
Just as long as that Lord
Just as long as that Lord, yes
Is on my side
Is walking right by my side
Everything I know
Everything that I know, yes I know
Will be alright
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, hey
And I can make it
Through my sickness and my pain
Make it
Through my heartaches, through my heartaches and my pain
Make it
I might feel like I'm all alone
Make it
Yes, but I heard my Mama say, “Shirley,
You're gonna make it.” Yes
And I can make it
You're gonna make it, you're gonna make it, you're gonna make it
Make it
So hold on to God like shaking hands
Make it
They might evict you, they might scandalize you
Make it
Oh yes, oh yes
Doo doo doo doo do
No hope to moan
Doo doo
Mmmm, Mmmmm
Moan,
Mmmm, Mmmmm
No holding on sometimes yes
Doo doo doo doo do
When you moan, the devil don't know what you're talking about
Doo doo
What you'r praying about;
Doo doo
Go on and moan, moan, moan, moan, (ad lib)
Doo doo
Moan, moan, moan
Doo doo
Oh yes Oh yes
Doo doo
I'm going to make it
And I can make it, make it
The doctor's been giving you some bad news yeah
Make it
But God is not through blessing you
Make it
You're gonna make it
Make it
They might evict you
Make it
Make it
But come on child, you can make it, you can make it
And I can make it
Tell the devil he's a liar, yes he is
Make it
Make it
After the bottom,
Make it
Comes the top
Make it
After failures,
Make it
Come success
Make it
After the bad,
Make it
Comes the good,yes
Make it
Whatever it takes,
Make it
Whatever it takes, do
You,
Just as long as the Lord
You can make it you, you, you, you (Ad Lib)
Is on my side
You can make it, you, you, you, you (Ad Lib) you can make it
Everything I know
As long as the Lord is on your side, yeah
Will be alright
Don't give up
Just as long as that Lord
Don't give in
You're gonna make it, you're gonna make it, yes you are
Is on my side
Yes, you may have just lost your loved one, but you're gonna make it
Everything I know
You're gonna make it, you, you, you're gonna make it, you
Will be alright
You, you will, will, you will
And I can make it
