"I Have Arrived"

For so many years I've tasted tears
Prayed for all the pain to go away
And leave me alone
All that time I was unaware
That love was around me everywhere
But somehow I did not know
And I've learned to live with things
That I cannot change
It took me so long to get to this place

But I have arrived (I have arrived)
I have arrived
I've been through hell and back
But I survived
Yeah and I'm stronger - I've conquered
Every fear that held me under
I'm seeing life through different eyes
And I have arrived

I've held the hand of a dyin' friend
And still I cannot comprehend the loss
Or the pain it caused
I felt bitterness and deep despair
Struggled with life ain't fair at all
Yeah, I carried that cross
And I prayed to find my strength
As I fell down to my knees
And in my darkest hour
It was faith that set me free

But I have arrived (I have arrived)
I have arrived
I've been through hell and back
But I survived
Yeah and I'm stronger - I've conquered
Every fear that held me under
I'm seeing life through different eyes
And I have arrived

But I have arrived (I have arrived)
I have arrived
I've been through hell and back
But I survived
Yeah and I'm stronger - I've conquered
Every fear that held me under
I'm seeing life through different eyes
And I have arrived
