I Know Where I've Been (Lyrics)

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 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 

There's a road we must travel 
There's a promise, we must make
But the riches, 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 until tomorrow 
'Cause just to sit still 
Would be a sin 
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
