Hairspray - I Know Where I've Been 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 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
