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 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 we must make But the riches will be plenty Worth the risk and the chances There's a dream in the future There's a struggle that we have yet to win Use that cry in our hearts To lift us up until tomorrow Cause justice and fear would be our sin Lord knows I know Where I've been When we win I'll give thanks to my God Cause I know where I've been
