I HAVE ARRIVED
(By Buffy Lawson, Eric Petrelli
and Angie Russell)
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

KEEP MY FAITH
(By Joanna Cotten, Johnny Neel and Angie Russell)
IN THE DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T GO ON
THEN AS THE DAY GOES ALONG OUT COMES THE SUN
IT GIVES ME A RAY OF HOPE CAUSE DEEP IN MY HEART I KNOW
THAT ONCE IT TAKES A HOLD OF MY SOUL A CHANGE GONNA COME
CAUSE WHEN THAT FEELING WASHES OVER
ME
IT GIVES ME THE STRENGTH TO BELIEVE
THAT I CAN DO WHAT I WANT AND BE WHO I NEED TO BE
EVERYDAY I FINDA WAY TO KEEP MY FAITH
WHEN NOTHING IS LIKE IT SEEMS
AND IT GETS HARDER AND HARDER TO SEE
I WON'T LOSE SIGHT OF MY DREAMS I KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN TO ME
I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT TO DO
WHATEVER I SET MY MIND TO
AND WHEN I'M OUT THERE CHASIN' MY DREAMS I GO TO EXTREME
BUT WHEN THAT FEELING WASHES OVER
ME
IT GIVES ME THE STRENGTH TO BELIEVE THAT I CAN DO WHAT I WANT
AND BE WHO I NEED TO BE
EVERYDAY I FIND A WAY TO KEEP MY FAITH
IT'S MY SAVING GRACE EVERYDAY I KEEP MY FAITH
