Mavis Staples
We’re Gonna Make It (Live)
[Intro]
Haha
I'm flirting

[Verse 1]
We may not have a cent to pay the rent
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to eat beans every day
We're gon' make it, I know we will
And if a job is hard to find
And we have to stand in the welfare line
I've got your love, you know you got mine
We're gonna make it, I know we will

[Verse 2]
We may not have a home to call our own
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to fight hardship alone
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
'Cause togetherness brings peace of mind
We can't stay down all the time
I've got your love and you know you got mine
We're gonna make it, I know we will

[Interlude]
Hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Our car may be old, our two rooms cold
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We can't even spare a cockroach a crumb
Oh, but we're gonna make it, I know we will
And if I have to carry around a sign
Sayin', "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"
I got your love and you know you got mine
We're gonna make it, I know we will

[Chorus]
We're gonna make it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We're gonna make it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
It might seem hard sometimes
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
Don't worry about it
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
We gotta keep on, keep on
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
Keep on tryin'
(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
Keep on believing, keep on trusting
Keep on praying, keep on praying
We've got to make it, gonna make it
We've got to make it, we've got to make it
We've got to make it, gonna make it
We've got to make it, we've got to make it
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
We've gotta make it, make it
