Make It Happen Lyrics

I look back upon my life and wonder
What it might be like
If we had met when we were young
In the schoolyard
Back before it all began

Where were you when I was young?
I wish I knew you then
I wish I knew you then
I'd ask if I could hold your hand
I would have loved you then
I would have loved you then

Love can change your life
Love can make it happen
Love can change your life
Love can make it happen
Love can change your life
Love can make it happen
Love can change your life
Love can make it happen

Flying back where I belong on Sunday
Back into your arms
I'm leaving when the sun goes down
I miss you
Soon I'll see your face again

Where were you when I was young?
I wish I knew you then
I wish I knew you then
I'd ask if I could hold your hand
I would have loved you then
I would have loved you then

Love can change your life
Love can make it happen
Love can change your life
Love can make it happen
Love can change your life
Love can make it happen
Love can change your life
Love can make it happen
Love can change your life
Love can make it happen

Hold on
I won't be long, hold on
Hold on
I'm coming home, hold on
Hold on
I won't be long, hold on
Hold on
I'm coming home, hold on

Where were you when I was young?
I wish I knew you then
I wish I knew you then
I'd ask if I could hold your hand
I would have loved you then
I would have loved you then

Cover art for Make It Happen lyrics by RÜFÜS DU SOL

Oh man... this song makes me think of myself and my long-distance boyfriend (we live in separate states in Australia). I've often thought to myself, 'What if we had lived in the same state and met as kids?' etc. What would it have been like... Would I have loved you then too?

And this entire verse: "Flying back where I belong on Sunday Back into your arms I'm leaving when the sun goes down I miss you Soon I'll see your face again"

I can really relate to this. How many times my boyfriend and I have travelled by plane to see each other, and missing each other when we are apart. The promise of seeing their face again. I also feel the 'hold on, I won't be long, I'm coming home' reminds me of the pandemic separating people from their loved ones.

The children's choir really elevates this song, too. Overall a fantastic album.
