I was a fool, afraid to the heart
Waiting for my life to start
Drifting along with the little I had
I was safe, secure and sad
You made me see so many possibilities
You opened my eyes to this world

Now I can make it on my own
And I owe it all to you
You showed me just what I could do
I'll carry on alone
I know I can make it on my own
'Cause you gave the strength to me
You showed me how much more I could be
I'll carry on alone

Life's what you make it, live it with pride
I've waste time just tryin' to hide
But even with my head in the sand
Still you made me understand
And you showed me so many possibilities
You opened my eyes to this world

Now I can make it on my own
And I owe it all to you
You showed me just what I could do
I'll carry on alone
I know I can make it on my own
'Cause you gave the strength to me
You showed me how much more I could be
I'll carry on alone

I really wanna thank ya baby
I owe you more than I can say
And I, I'm gonna take all those chances this time

You made me see so many possibilities
You opened my eyes to this world

Now I can make it on my own
And I owe it all to you
You showed me just what I could do
I'll carry on alone
I know I can make it on my own
'Cause you gave the strength to me
You showed me how much more I could be
I'll carry on alone

(make it on my own) I know I can make it, make it
(all to you) I know I can make it, make it
(Much more I can be) Much more I can be
(make it on my own) I know I can make it
(all to you) I know I can make it, make
(Much more I can be) You showed how much I could be
(Alone)

I know I can make it
I know I can make it

I know I can make it
I know I can make it

I know I can make it, make it
I know I can make it, make it
