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 dream in the future
oh there's a struggle 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
there's a road we must travel
we must travel
there's a promise
there's a promise we must make
we must make
cause the riches cause the riches will be play
will be plenty worth the risk
and the chances that we take
there's a dream
in the future
there's a struggle struggle we have yet to win
it's that pride in our hearts
to lift us to tomorrow
'cause just to sit still would be a sin
i know it i know it i know it in the way
lord knows i know
where i've been
oh when we win i give thanks to my god
cause i know where i've been
