We're Gonna Make It

(album: Brook Benton Today - 1970)

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 sometime, darling
But we're gonna make it, I'm sure we will

And if a job is hard to find
We may have to stand in the welfare line
I got your love and you know you've got mine
And we gonna make it

We may not have home to call our own
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may have to fight hardships alone, baby
But we're gonna make it, I know we will

Because togetherness brings peace of mind
And we can't stay down all the time
I got your love and you know you've got mine
And we got to make it

And our car may be old, our room can get cold sometime, baby
But we're gonna make it, I know we will
We may not be able to spare a roach a crumb
But we're gonna make it, I'm sure we will

And if I have to carry a sign
Saying help the deaf, the dumb and the blind
I got your love and you know you've got mine
And we gonna make it

Yes, I said, we will
We gonna make it
Hey, we gonna make it
I said baby, we gonna make it
Yeah, we gonna make it
We got to make it
Baby, we got to make it...
