I was in need of knowing that someone could understand what I was going thru.
Lyrics
I have walked down that long dark road
I know what it’s like to be alone
Can’t find your way and you just roam
I have been there
I know the pain of dreams erased
I have felt the heartache you have faced
Longing to be in someone else’s place
I have been there
And the questions that you dare not seek
I have asked myself – yes I’ve been weak
When words are not enough to speak
Oh – I have been there
I’ve disappointed loved ones dear
I have stood while others laughed and jeered
I’ve been betrayed by friends so near
I have been there
I understand being falsely accused
Being screamed at, beaten and abused
Being spit at for just being you
I have been there
That is why I died upon that tree
So that you can be set free
To live in heaven just with me
I have been there
To prepare a place
That will make all your pain erase
That is why I took your place
I have been there
Bottled every tear
I have been there
Held you thru the years
You’ve never been alone my dear
Oh------- I have been
I have been there
I have gone to prepare a place
That will make all your pain erase
That is why I took your place
I have been there
