Lyrics

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 Worth the price, the price we had to pay There's a dream (dream) with 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 (there's a road) we must travel (we must travel) There's a promise (there is a promise) we must make (that we must make) But the riches (oh, but the riches) will be plenty (The riches will be plenty, yeah) Worth the risk (worth the risk) and the chances we take (and the chances we take) There's a dream, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah with the future There's a struggle (struggle) that we have yet to win (we have yet to win) Use that pride (pride) in our hearts (in our hearts) To lift us up (lift us up) up to tomorrow (ooh) 'Cause just to sit still would be a sin I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going Lord knows, I know Where I've been (Know where I've been) I'll give thanks to my God 'Cause I know where I've been, yeah, yeah
