Though the night is black as
There's a light, burning bright,
But I know where I've been
It's a voice that comes from
There's a cry (Oooh) asking why,
I pray the answer's up ahead
(Ahh) There's a road we've
(Oooh) But the riches will be plenty
There's a dream (Dream) in
There's a struggle (Struggle!) that we
And there's pride (Pride!) in
'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 (We must make)
Oh, but the riches, (Oh, but the riches) the riches will
be plenty (The riches will be plenty)
Worth the risks (Worth the risks) and
the chances (and the chances)
(There's a dream) in the future
There's a struggle (Struggle) that we have
yet to win (We have yet to win)
Use that pride (Use that pride) in our
To lift us up to tomorrow
'Cause just to it still would be a sin
I know it, I know where I'm going
I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been!
