"I Made It" lyrics

When I was young, I tried to build a paper plane, but
My head told me no
My parents sat me down and they tried to explain, that
I had some time to grow
But I stayed up all night until I got it right
And in the morning, I screamed, "Hey, look, I made it"
When I was young, I tried to build a paper plane, but
My head told me no

But I knew I was special and when I didn't believe
I'd remember the moments when my family's waiting for me
And if I had a dollar from the ones that didn't believe
I could sail away and live my life at sea

'Cause I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, I made it
'Cause I made it, yeah
'Cause I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, I made it
Mmm, 'cause I made it

Sometimes I think about why we do what we do, and
The world tells us no
These walls were made to break and I am breaking through
At times it's hard to show
And even though I'm scared, I know that I'm aware
That I'm exactly where I'm meant to be
So, when I think about why I do what I do
It's everything to me

And I knew I was special and when I didn't believe
I'd remember the moment when my family's waiting for me
And if I had a dollar from the ones that didn't believe
I could sail away and live my life at sea, oh

'Cause I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, I made it
'Cause I made it, yeah
'Cause I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, I made it
Mmm, 'cause I made it

We made it, we made it, we made it, we made it
Out, we made it out, we made it out
We made it, we made it, we made it, we made it
Out, we made it out, we made it out

'Cause we made it
Yeah, damn, we made it
Oh, we made it
'Cause we made it, yeah
'Cause we made it
Yeah, damn, we made it
Oh, we made it
'Cause we made it
