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 we Had to pay There's a dream In the future There's a struggle We have yet to win And there's pride In my heart 'Cause I know Where I'm going And I know where I've been There's a road We must travel There's a promise We must make 'Cause the riches Will be plenty Worth the risk And chances that we take There's a dream In the future There's a struggle 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 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
