[Verse 1: Anika Noni Rose & Forest Whitaker, Both]
He says he wants to make it work again
Let the long road back to love begin
He thinks that we can make, we can make it work again
I've got a heart that needs to mend
And I don't know how this story ends
Oh, can we make, can we make it work again?
I know it won't be easy
But I'm gonna tighten every screw, turn every gear
I hope this time you'll see me
Workin' on this formula for years
Wonder if this time it could be real
[Verse 2: Forest Whitaker]
I'm gonna make it work again
Try to fix every part that's broken
I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make it work again
Every little hour that I spend
Is gonna be worth it in the end
If I just get it, I just get it to work again
[Pre-Chorus: Anika Noni Rose]
I've come this far without your help
Figured it out all by myself
Forgiveness sure ain't easy
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Or if my heart will find its way to you
[Chorus: Anika Noni Rose]
Oh, I gotta gotta, oh, oh
Make it work now, it ain't easy (Make it work)
Make it work now, it ain't easy (Make it work)
You've got to make it work (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
You've got to make it work (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
You've got to make it work (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
You've got to make it work (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
[Post Chorus: Forest Whitaker, Anika Noni Rose]
I'm gonna make it work again (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
Got a say in how my story ends (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
I'm gonna make, gonna make it work again (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
Oh, oh
You've got to make it work
[Refrain: Forest Whitaker, Anika Noni Rose, Both]
We gotta, we gotta work
(We gotta, we gotta work) Gotta make it work (Work, work)
Gotta make it work (Work, work)
Gotta make it work again (Work, work)
Gotta make it work again (Work, work)
Again, again, again
Make it work now, it ain't easy (Make it work)
Make it work now, ain't easy (Make it work)
Gotta make it (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
Gotta make it (Make it work now, it ain't easy)
Gotta make it work
I'm gonna make it work again
Got a say in how my story ends
I'm gonna make, gonna make it work again(Make it work again, make it work again)
Make it
Make it work again, make it work again
[Outro: Anika Noni Rose]
I'm not sure if we can make
If we can make it work again
