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

Burnin' 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 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

There's a road

We must travel

There's a promise that

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

Till tomorrow

'Cause just to sit still

Would be a sin

And 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
