Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
There's a cry
In the distance
It's a voice
That comes from deep within (Hey, yeah)
There's a cry
Asking why
I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah
'Cause I know where I've been
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
There's a dream
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
[Chorus]
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
'Cause the riches
Oh, but the riches
Will be plenty
The riches will be plenty, yeah
Worth the risk
Worth the risk
And chances that we take
And the chance that we take
[Refrain]
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
To tomorrow
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause just to sit still
Would be a sin
I know it, I know it
[Outro]
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
