I Have Arrived, Video from The Studio

I Have Arrived
in B

No more waiting to be discovered
No more waiting to get signed
Discovered myself, I am surrounded by wealth
I realize how much I’ve denied

No more waiting for a favor
No more waiting for the stars to align
No more waiting, no more hesitating
Cause now I know, I have arrived

And I know, I’ve got a long long way to go
But with the wait I am satisfied
And I know that it goes so painfully slow
But that’s OK cause I got you by my side

No more waiting for directions
I’ll make a map out of the sky
I’ve waited so long for the muse to deliver this song
Thanks the Lord, that it arrived

Now I tell myself, If I only had something else
While the thing I need is right in front of my eyes
No more waiting for love, I’m loving exactly what you’re made of
Cause I can see you have arrived

No more waiting to be discovered
No more waiting to get signed
Discovered myself, I am surrounded by wealth
And now I know, I have arrived

  • Patrick and Kelly flew in from Syracuse
  • Kat flew in from San Diego
  • Mom flew in from DC
  • 40′ slip n slide (with nonstop kid use)
  • retro jFro graphic, and on pins and coozies nonetheless!
  • tribute covers and requests featuring
    •  Derek’s cover of Mystical Experience #115
    • Lib’s singalong to What The Day Had To Say (and human music stand for I Have Arrived)
    • P’s poem (from jremix)
    • Jody’s cover of God Has Been Good To Me
    • Chris’s guitar and All Blues
    • Los on drums

I Have Arrived

Biked home last Friday, sat down on the porch, wrote this song in one sitting. Feels Jimmy Cliff to me.
