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)
