All I ever had was a dream, A feeling deep in my soul I had somewhere to go. You knew what a daydream could be. You were always there pushing me, Begging me to see what you saw in me How someday I’d soar. I never saw it before. Here I am at the end. My dreams are coming true. Here I stand once again. I’m starting something new. And I got you beside me. Everywhere I go, you’ll be there to guide me. And who knows where I’ll land, But here I am. After all the chaos and pain, I never thought I’d arrive, But I knew I’d survive. You were there for every bad day. You just held my hand, Let me cry, knowing that someday I’d learn to fly. You said I’d be so surprised To find what I had inside. Here I am at the end. My dreams are coming true. Here I stand once again. I’m starting something new. And I got you behind me. Everywhere I go, you’ll be there to guide me. And who knows where I’ll land but here I am. And I’m trying to be what you see in me. I’m trying to make you proud. And no matter what, No matter how, This is the moment I always dreamed about. Here I am a tthe end. My dreams are coming true. Here I stand once again. I’m starting something new. And I got you beside me, Everywhere I turn, you’ll be there to guide me. And who knows where I’ll land, Here I am! (Kerrigan/Lowdermilk)
