It Took Me So Long

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 it 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 a 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
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
