I Know Where I've Been Lyrics - Singles - Hairspray

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 travelin' 

Lost so many on the way 

But the riches will be plenty 

Worth 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 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 (riches will be plenty, yeah) 

Worth the risk (worth the risk) and chances we take 

There's a dream in the future, there's a 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, to tomorrow 

'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
