Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, oh, talk about it (Talk about it)

You know life

Has it's ups and downs

It can turn your pretty face

To an ugly frown

Seems that when I fix one thing

Another one comes

Cloudin' up my vision

But I can feel the sun

I believe that I can do this

I know that I can win

Just as long as I have His love within

[Verse 2]

I believe that I can make it

I can make it through the night

I believe that I can walk on

With my head held high

I believe that I am special in every way

But in order to have my victory

I gotta believe, oh, yeah

[Verse 3]

I have to see

Myself at the finish line

I have to visualize

That everything will fall in line

I have to visualize the land

While riding through the storm

I have to trust in my Father

And open up my heart

I know that I can do this

I know that I can win

Just as long as I have His love within, love within

[Verse 4]

I believe (I believe that I can make it)

I can make it through the night

I believe I can walk on (I believe that I can walk on)

With my head held high (With my head held high)

I believe that I am special (I believe that I am special) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(In every way)

But in order to have my victory

[Verse 5]

Ooh, heartbreak (I can handle it)

And heart pains (I can handle it)

Bein' let down (I can handle it)

No one's around (I can handle it)

I believe I can (I can handle it)

I receive I can (I can handle it)

And now I'm walking right into my victory, oh

[Verse 6]

I believe that I can (I believe that I can make it)

I can make it through the night (I believe I'll walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on)

(I believe that I can walk on)

(With my head held high) I am special, yes I am

(I believe that I am special) Oh

(In every way)

(But in order to have my victory) And in order to have my victory

(I believe that I can make it) Everybody, help me say

(I can make it through the night)

(I believe that I can walk on) I'm gonna walk on

(With my head held high) With my head held high, I believe that

(I believe that I am special) There's nobody like me

(In every way)

But in order to have my victory (And in order for me to have my victory)

I gotta believe, yeah
