She was only seventeen
Wild at heart and following her dreams
But even she was pretty, got a ticket to the city
Where she'd find her place on the cover of a magazineIt was only a chat room but it would lead the way
To the door of a man where she'd throw it all away
He said they'd take it slow but little did she know
She'd be all used up by the end of the dayBut she was strong, she would survive
Ambition would be her drive, and she criedI'll make a way, I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though I may not understand
Someday I'll make a way
Hear me say, someday I'll make a wayWhere did she go wrong and how did she get here?
Living hard and looking older than her years
Miss Little Bigtown, trying to hold a job down
Just doing what she could to choke her fearsBut she was strong, she would survive
A spark of hope that kept her dreams aliveI'll make a way, I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though I may not understand
Someday I'll make a wayWalking down the road
In the city where she'd come with so much hope
You see her vision had long died along with all her pride
When she found herself at the end of her roadBut she heard angels through the door
Of a church she'd passed a million times before
Inside the choir song was ringing
Since she'd found herself believing
That out there maybe there was something moreAnd so she bowed her head to pray
She cried Jesus, please make a way
And she heard Him sayI'll make a way, I'll do whatever it takes
Even though it won't be easy
I have a plan and though you may not understand
Today I'll make a way
Hear Him say today, He'll make a wayHallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Today He'll make a way
For you He's gonna make a way
For you He'll make a way
