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

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

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

There's a dream

In the future

There's a struggle

We have yet to win

Use that pride

In our hearts

To 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

And 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
