I've Already Won

Cynthia Erivo


Sure, it can be a scary place
Living outside what's safe
But if you have the passion for a dream
Well, that dream, it must be chased
I won't let the fear of what's unknown

Tackle me from what comes next
I may never see the golden road
But you know I'll try my best
'Cause sometimes dreams are made
For something more than just to dream

And I have waited all my life for this
And it has just begun
The fighting that it took to get me here
Proves to me
That I've already won

And if one day I see I've lost my place
Trust me, there'll be pride within me still
'Cause even if the mountain's out of reach
I'll be conquering a thousand hills
'Cause it is not how far uphill you get

But how passionate the climb
And even if it takes a thousand years
Trust me, I will do the time
'Cause there has never been a love
That drives me quite like this

And I have waited all my life for this
And it has just begun
The fighting that it took to get me here
Proves to me
That I've already won

It's up to us to make our own place in this world
So don't ever let your life pass you by

And I have waited all my life for this
And it has just begun
The fighting that it took to get me here
Proves to me
That I've already won
That I've already won
