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 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 travellin'
|
Lost so many on the way
|
But the riches will be plenty
|
With 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 that we must make
|
Oh 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
|
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
|

I Know Where I've Been
