Lyrics

Make It Happen

I've been sitting on the sidelines far too long.
No more—flower on a wall—it’s time to dance.
Jaded by the bruises from falling down,
It's never real until you hold it in your hands.

The push, the pull, the constant changing world that never sleeps,
A hustle here, a hustle there—everybody wants a piece.
Gonna patch the wounds that leak a little part of me,
Take my chance, make it happen.

C’mon and take that leap.
I’m not afraid of rolling in the deep.
I'll save the best of what I've got for last.
Play my hand, make it happen.

Some say chance may be an angel,
But the hand of God will deal the cards.
I don't believe that every move we make
Is preordained or written in the stars.

Does heaven really have a say
In how my cards are played?
It takes a little more than faith
Or getting on my knees to pray.

I've got a date with destiny, and I'm running late.
It’s mine to take—let’s make it happen.

C’mon and take that leap.
I’m not afraid of rolling in the deep.
I'll save the best of what I've got for last.
Play my hand, make it happen.

Make it happen.

I'm ready as I’ll ever be—I've put in my time.
The hours are more than I can say.
It’s a brand-new day—I’ll step up and take my swing.
And if I swing and miss, that’s okay.

There’s good and bad that falls on everyone in time.
Just turn the page and try not to read between the lines.
I can't rest on my laurels anymore.
I may be good, but there's so much more.

Make it happen, take that leap.
I’m not afraid of rolling in the deep.
I'll save the best of what I've got for last.
Play my hand, make it happen.

C’mon and take that leap.
I’m not afraid of rolling in the deep.
I'll save the best of what I've got for last.
Play my hand, make it happen.
