Waiting For Me To Arrive
This ballad starts with an intimate introduction sung by a alto soloist with only piano accompaniment. The choir then enters on a subdued soft rock chorus, which leads into a bridge with a strong gospel groove. The song finishes with a final climactic chorus featuring soaring lines of polyphonic choral writing. The lyrics tell the story of a person who, after years of struggling to find her way through life, finally realizes she has reached her destiny. There is also an a cappella version available upon request.

Seems like I’ve spent half my life Stuck in the delta mud I’ve never felt like I could come clean But suddenly I hear a song Singin’ out loud and strong And it washes over me like a summer rain I never used to think that I Belonged upon a stage I don't have their confidence or charm But suddenly my fear is gone I feel like I am right where I belong Ready to leave the shame of the past behind Ready to stand up and claim what’s mine Here in this place I stand among the people who see my soul Right now I realize that I have reached my destination Even though these last few years have been the hardest to survive My dream has always been right here waiting Waiting for me to arrive Some have tried to keep me down at their level Whispering in my ear just like the devil Weighing me down with the chains of a label Unimportant, unworthy, unable And for a while I believed their lies Insecurity kept me paralyzed But finally I see through the charade And I am standing unafraid Here in this place I stand among the people who see my soul Right now I realize that I have reached my destination Even though these last few years have been the hardest to survive My dream has always been right here waiting Waiting for me to arrive
