I Have Arrived Lyrics - Linda Davis

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
