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 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 we must travel There's a promise we must make But the riches will be plenty Worth the risk and the chances that we take
There's a dream 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
