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, 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 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 we must travel

There's a promise we must make

Oh, but the riches, will be plenty

Worth the risks and the

chances that we take

There's a dream, yeah, in the future

There's a struggle

that 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

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
