it took me so long to get here, but here i am

i took it all

all on my back

i picked it up on my shoulders

thought it was all

all i could have

and it was better

it was better than nothing

now i know

i know that isn't true

what have i got to show

after seeing it through

now i know

i know a few things

and i can feel it

coming towards me

it took me so long to get here but here i am

it took me so long to get here but here i am

everything i tried and

all the things i dreamed of

it took me so long to get here but here i am

if i could do it

do it all again

i can't safely say i wouldn't change it

there were things left me feeling ashamed

like how i didn't stand up for myself

i didn't even try to see the truth

but the truth led to you calling my name

and it shot like an arrow

into my heart

it took me so long to get here but here i am

it took me so long to get here but here i am

everything i tried and

all the things i dreamed of

it took me so long to get here but here i am

all my systems were failing

and it didn't seem fair

no it didn't seem fair

but it made way

for something different

i could feel it in the air

feel it in the air

it took me so long to get here but here i am

it took me so long to get here but here i am

everything i tried and

all the things i dreamed of

it took me so long to get here but here i am

it took me so long to get here but here i am

it took me so long to get here but here i am

everything i tried and

all the things i dreamed of

it took me so long to get here but here i am

here i am

here i am

here i am

here i am
