I Know Where I’ve Been Songtext
von Jennifer Hudson

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, the price we had to pay


There′s a dream in the future
There's a struggle we have yet to win
And there's pride in my heart
′Cause I know where I′m going
And I know where I've been

There′s a road (there's a road) we must travel (we must travel)
There′s a promise (there's a promise) we must make (that we must make)
′Cause the riches (will be plenty) will be plenty
Worth the risk (worth the risk) and chances that we take

There's a dream in the future
There's a struggle (struggle) we have yet to win
Use that pride 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
And 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
