How Did I End Up Here/It's Always Been You
This ballad explores the self-discovery and awakening that occurs after hitting rock bottom. The medley begins at the emotional low point with Scott Alan's "How Did I End Up Here" and then moves right into Phil Wickham's uplifting anthem "It's Always Been You". It's the perfect way to transition your show from a dark mood to a positive and hopeful feeling. Features a tenor soloist in two separate sections of the medley.

How did I end up here this time in my life? How does one lose everything before it is given? How did I end up here? Did I take the wrong direction? How can I start to amend these mistakes I've made? And all the mountains I must climb And all the oceans I must swim through And all the walls that I must break And the tears that must come out And the sky that I must reach And the strength I need to find And the heart that I must stop from closing in on me Now that I'm here You saw me first You let me in when I was at my worst The moment when I heard you say my name It's the first time in so long I'm not afraid I'm not afraid You are the voice that calms the storm inside me Castle walls that stand around me All this time, my guardian was you You are the light that shines in every tunnel There in the past, you'll be there tomorrow All my life, your love was breaking through It's always been you It's always been you It's always been you It's always been you Who stood with me in the fire? It was you, it was always you Who pulled me out of the water? It was you, it was always you And who carried me on their shoulders? It was you My northern star Your love will be the compass of my heart And I know It's always been you It's always been you It's always been you It's always been you I must find my way back home to you Find my way home (Scott Alan, Phil Wickham)
