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 (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)

But the riches (Oh, but the riches)

Will be plenty (The riches will be plenty)

Worth the risk (Worth the risk)

And chances that we take (and the chances that we take)

There's a dream

Yeah yeah yeah

In the future

There's a struggle

That we have yet to win

Use that pride

In our hearts

To lift us up

Until 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
