Scott Wittman - I Know Where I've Been lyrics

[MISS MAYBELLE] 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 [MISS MAYBELLE] 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, yeah 'Cause I know where I've been [MISS MAYBELLE] There's a road we've been travelin' Lost so many on the way But the riches will be plenty Worth the price, the price we had to pay [MISS MAYBELLE] 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 [MISS MAYBELLE & ENSEMBLE] 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 (The riches will be plenty) Worth the risk (Worth the risk) And chances that we take (and the chances that we take) There's a dream Yeah 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 Until tomorrow Cause just to sit still Would be a sin [ENSEMBLE] I know it, I know it I know where i'm going [MISS MAYBELLE] Lord knows I know Where i've been [Miss Maybelle & ENSEMBLE] Oh! When we win I'll give thanks to my god 'cause I know where I've been
