It Took Me So Long To Get Here, But Here I Am

  • (Hey yeah, hey yeah-ah-ah)

    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 I can't believe it)
    It took me so long to get here but here I am
    (It took me so long but here I am)
    Everything I tried and
    All the things I dreamed of
    (It took me so long I can't believe it)
    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 I can't believe it)
    It took me so long to get here but here I am
    (It took me so long but here I am)
    Everything I tried and
    All the things I dreamed of
    (It took me so long I can't believe it)
    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 I can't believe it)
    It took me so long to get here but here I am
    (It took me so long but here I am)
    Everything I tried and
    All the things I dreamed of
    (It took me so long I can't believe it)
    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 I can't believe it)
    It took me so long to get here but here I am
    (It took me so long but here I am)
    Everything I tried and
    All the things I dreamed of
    (It took me so long I can't believe it)
    It took me so long to get here but here I am

    Here I am
    Here I am
    (It took me so long I can't believe it)
    Here I am
    (It took me so long but here I am)
