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

But I know where I've been

There's a cry

In the distance

It's a voice

That comes from deep within (Hey, yeah)

There's a cry

Asking why

I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah

'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

Dream

In the future

There's a struggle

That 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, yeah

There's a road

There's a road

We must travel

We must travel

There's a promise

There is a promise

We must make

That we must make

'Cause the riches

Oh, but the riches

Will be plenty

The riches will be plenty, yeah

Worth the risk

Worth the risk

And chances that we take

And the chance that we take

There's a dream

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In the future

There's a struggle

Struggle

That 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

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

'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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
