Текст песни I Know Where I've Been - Queen Latifah

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, yeah
'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
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) the riches will be plenty
(Worth the risks) worth the risks
(And the chances that we take) and the chances that we take

There's a dream (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
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)
Oh, to tomorrow
'Cause just to sit still
Would be a sin
I know where, I know where, I know where I'm going
Lord knows I k-n-o-w where I've been

Oh, when we win
I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been, yeah, yeah
