I Know Where I've Been

There's a light in the darkness

Though the night is black as my skin

There's a light burning bright

Showing me the way

I know where I've been

There's a cry in the distance

It's a voice that comes from deep within

There's a cry asking why

I pray the answer's up ahead

'Cause I know where I've been

There's a road we've been travelin'

Lost so many on the way

But the riches will be plenty

Worth the price, the price, we had to pay

There's a dream in the future

There's a struggle we have yet to win

And there's pride in my heart

'Cause I know where I'm going

Yes I do, and I know where I've been

There's a road (There's a road)

We must travel (We must travel)

There's a promise (There's a promise)

We must make (We must make)

'Cause the riches ('Cause the riches)

Will be plenty (Will be plenty)

Worth the risk (Worth the risk)

And chances that we take (And chances that we take)

There's a dream in the future

There's a struggle (Struggle)

We have yet to win (We have yet to win)

Use that pride (Pride)

In our hearts (In our hearts)

To lift us up (Lift us up)

To tomorrow

'Cause just to sit still

Would be a sin

I know it, I know it

I know where I'm going

Lord knows I know

Where I've been

Oh! When we win

I'll give thanks to my God

'Cause I know where I've been
