I Know Where I've Been Songtext
von Marc Shaiman

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 were I've been,
yeah!

There′s a road
we must travel,
there's a promise
we must make,
but the riches
the riches will be plenty,
worth the risk
and the chance we take,


There′s a dream
yeah yeah!
in the future,
there's a struggle
that 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,

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.
