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

There's a voice that comes from deep within

There's a cry asking why

I pray the answer's up ahead

But I know where I've been

There's a road we've been travelin'

Lost so many along the way

But the riches will be plenty

Worth the price, the price we had to pay

There's a dream of the future

There's a struggle that we have yet to win

But 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) 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, yes, they will

Worth the risk and the chances we take

Dream of the future

There's a struggle that we have yet to win, yeah

But there's pride in my heart (In my heart)

To lift us up to tomorrow (Lift us up)

'Cause just to sit still when the end's in

(I know where I'm going, I know where I'm going)

I know where I'm going

And honey, I know where I've been

Yeah, yeah

I give thanks to my God

'Cause I know where I've been
