V1
Way back, way back when I was younger
I found a friend in music, escaping from the dark
And I knew, big chance I wouldn’t make it
Left alone well maybe, I could leave a mark
Pre chorus:
One thing I learned, we owe it to ourselves
And you deserve it, be happy
No matter who you are, (then you’ll feel)
Chorus
It’s happening,
it’s finally coming true
See It’s happening,
it’s finally coming true
It’s finally coming true
V2
People, told me ‘stop my dreaming’ they ‘ad me near believing
This dream could never be, not for me
But I knew, I ‘ad to keep it going, now faith is slowly growing
I know I’ll soon be free, (soon be free)
Pre chorus:
One thing I learned, we owe it to ourselves
And you deserve it, be happy
No matter who you are, (then you’ll feel)
Chorus
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
See It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s finally coming true
Bridge: (Quiet arrangement)
Now if we just try harder, (try so hard) in everything we do
Keep rolling like the ocean and let them all be blue
We walk alone in bad times, until the sun shines through
Believe it with a conviction – some of them dreams come true
Pre chorus:
One thing I learned OH just do it for yourself
For you deserve it, be happy
No matter who you are, who you are OH
Chorus
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
It’s happening, it’s finally coming true
