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 (ooh, yeah, 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 traveling

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's a promise) we must make (that we must make)

But the riches will be plenty (the riches will be plenty)

Worth the risk (worth the risk) and the chances that we take

There's a dream in the future

There's a struggle (struggle) that we have yet to win (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
