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 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
Motormouth & ensemble
There's a road
We must travel
There's a promise
We must make
'Cause the riches
Will be plenty
Worth the risk
And chances that we take
There's a dream
In the future
There's a 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
Ensemble
I know it, I know it
I know where I'm going
Motormouth
And lord knows I know..
Where I've been
Motormouth & ensemble
Oh! When we win,
I'll give thanks to my god
'Cause I know where I've been
Motormouth 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 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 Motormouth & ensemble There's a road We must travel There's a promise We must make 'Cause the riches Will be plenty Worth the risk And chances that we take There's a dream In the future There's a 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 Ensemble I know it, I know it I know where I'm going Motormouth And lord knows I know..
