[Verse 1]
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"
[Pre-Chorus]
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 believе
I could sail away and live my life at sea
[Chorus]
'Causе I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, oh, I made it
'Cause I made it
Yeah, yeah, 'cause I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, oh, I made it
Mm, 'cause I made it
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I think about why we do what we do when
The world tell us "no"
These walls were made to break and I'm 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
[Pre-Chorus]
And 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
[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, oh, I made it
'Cause I made it
Yeah, yeah, 'cause I made it
Yeah, damn, I made it
Oh, oh, I made it
Mm, 'cause I made it
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
'Cause we made it
Yeah, damn, we made it
Oh, oh, we made it
'Cause we made it
Yeah, yeah, 'cause we made it
Yeah, damn, we made it
Oh, oh, we made it
Mm, 'cause we made it

Sarah Spillane:
Working with Tones was a gift. We talked a lot about the themes in True Spirit and I was blown away by how she managed to capture the struggle, emotion, and triumph of Jessica’s story in the original song ‘I Made It’. We also talked about the similar ‘against all odds’ journeys that...
