Hairspray - I Know Where I've Been lyrics

rate me

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..

Where i've been

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE

Oh! When we win,

I'll give thanks to my god

'Cause i know where i've been
