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 the distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within (yeah)
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 travelling
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
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 promisse)
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 that we take (and the chances that we take)
There's a dream in 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) 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
Oh, when we win, I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been (yeah, yeah)
