“You Can Make It”

[Verse 1 - Am,F,G,C,Em x4]
in this story Failure’s a prophet
it’s dressed in rumors of you
told by sheep with wolves in their closets
they hide their secrets away

ugly thoughts and uglier actions
it’s how they do it
viscous patterns long as they profit
to feed their egos and say:

[Pre-Chorus 1 - Am,F,G x2]
“Do what we tell you.  Buy what we sell you.
Step in line;  toe the line.
Just keep your mouth shut.
Follow your orders.  Don’t think much broader.
Drop your guard;  disregard.
You should just give up.”

[Chorus - F,C,G,Am x4]
so forget to regret your life
they’ll try to steal away your soul
if they can take it
don’t you let them amplify
the voices you control
that doubt if you can make it
Oo oo, Oh, OOoo
don’t doubt that you can make it
Oo oo, Oh, OOoo
don’t doubt that you can make it

[Verse 2 - Am,F,G,C,Em x4]
innocence was never an option
it’s just a lie you’ve been told
filthy hands washed clean all too often
to hide the blood of the old

reputations fragile and selfish
it’s why they do it
images maintained we can’t tell which
fortunes favor the bold

[Pre-Chorus 2 - Am,F,G x2]
so keep your head up, and just stay read up
read a book, it’s a look that leads to brilliance
don’t make excuses for muscles useless
it’s not hard, but it’s hard to build resilience

[Chorus - F,C,G,Am x4]
so forget to regret your life
they’ll try to steal away your soul
if they can take it
don’t you let them amplify
the voices you control
that doubt if you can make it
Oo oo, Oh, OOoo
don’t doubt that you can make it
Oo oo, Oh, OOoo
don’t doubt that you can make it
