Carmen - I Know Where I've Been

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
Mm, 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

No, no
There's a road
We must travel and
There is a promise
We must make
Oh, but the riches
The riches will be plenty, yeah
Worth the risk
And chances we take

There's a dream
In the future
There's a struggle
That we have yet to win
Use that pride
In your hearts
To lift us up
Up to tomorrow

Because just to sit still
Would be a sin

Oh Lord, I know where I've been
I give thanks to my God 'cause I know where I've been
