Intro:  
G5    C5  D5  C5   G5  C5  G5  D5   X9     C5 
  
                 G5 
There's a light  
             B5           B5 
In the darkness 
                       E5 
Though the night 
                          C5  
Is black as my skin  
                  G5 
There's a light 
                B5 ( C5 )  
Burning bright  
E5     G5         C5             F#5 ( F#5 ) 
Showing me the way  
B5 ( C5 )                        E5 
But I know where I've been  
                 G5 
There's a cry 
            B5           B5  
In the distance  
           E5 
It's a voice 
                                                C5           D5  
That comes from deep within  
C5           G5 
There's a cry  
               B5 ( C5 ) 
Asking "why?"  
                   E5   G5      C5         F#5 ( F#5 ) 
I pray the answer's up ahead  
            B5 ( C5 )                  E5 
'Cause I know where I've been  


                 A5 
There's a road 
                      E5  
We've been trave'lin' 
                A5           E5  
Lost so many on the way 
             B5  
But the riches  
             C5 
Will be plenty 
                 C#5  
Worth the price 
       A#5 
The price 
                  B5      B5        D5      C5 
We had to pay  


                  G5 
There's a dream  
            B5            B5 
In the future  
                   E5 
There's a struggle 
                          C5       D5 
We have yet to win  
C5               G5 
And there's pride  
         B5 C5 D#5 
In my heart  
          E5       G5 
'Cause I know  
                    C5        G5       A5 
Where I'm going    (Yes, I do!) 
        C5                         G5 
And I know where I've been  


                  A5              
There's a road  (There's a road...) 
                E5 
We must travel (...we must travel) 
                  A5 
There's a promise (There is a promise) 
                 E5 
We must make (That we must make) 
                     B5 
'Cause the riches (Ohh but the riches) 
              C5 
Will be plenty (Riches will be plenty ....yeah...) 
                   C#5 
Worth the risk (Worth the risk) 

And the chances (And the chances) 
                B5         B5           D5 
That we take (That we taaaake)  


Eb5             Ab5 
There's a dream 
            C5            C5 
In the future  
                   F5 
There's a struggle (Struggle) 
                           Db5         Eb5 
We have yet to win  
                 Ab5 
Use that pride  
             C5 ( C#5 E5 
In our hearts  
     F5     
To lift us up 
        Db5                 G5 
To tomorrow  


                               C5 ( C#5 ) 
'Cause just to sit still  
                      F5 
Would be a sin  

(ENSEMBLE) 
                     F5 
I know it, I know it 
                       C5  Bb5   
I know where I'm going 

(MOTORMOUTH) 

Lord knows  
Db5 
I know.. 
                              Ab5  
Where I've been  

(MOTORMOUTH & Chorus)  
Ab5    C5 
Oh!      When we win,  
Db5                               Db5 
I'll give thanks to my God  
               Gb5                    Ab5 
'Cause I know where I've been!
