#blacklivesmatter! This song tears me up because it reminds me of how cruel this world is with all the racists we still have in the world! I mean its 2020 for crying out loud! racism shouldn't be a thing anymore but unfortunately there are people in the world who see people different just because of the colour of their skin! STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT! DON'T SIT THERE SILENT! SPEAK UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIVE IN!!

[quasimmtuggles]

I love this song so much and it make me cry every time I listen to it

[thomashiggins]

Now although I’m a dude I’m gonna try and perform this in my showcase and make it my own!

[symphonyraygene]

LYRICS

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 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 travellin'
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 (dream) with 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, yeah
There's a road (there's a road) we must travel (we must travel)
There's a promise (there is a promise) we must make (that we must make)
But the riches (oh, but the riches) will be plenty
(The riches will be plenty, yeah)
Worth the risk (worth the risk) and the chances we take (and the chances we take)
There's a dream, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah with the future
There's a struggle (struggle) that we have yet to win (we have yet to win)
Use that pride (pride) in our hearts (in our hearts)
To lift us up (lift us up) up to tomorrow (ooh)
'Cause just to sit still would be a sin
I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going
Lord knows, I know
Where I've been
(Know where I've been)
I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been, yeah, yeah

There's a light in the darkness
Though the night 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 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 travellin'
Lost so many on the way
But the riches will be plenty
With 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, yeah

There's a road that we must travel
There's a promise that we must make
Oh the riches will be plenty
Oh the dream in the future
Oh the struggle we must win
Use that pride in our heart
To lift us up
Lord knows i know
Where I've been

This song made me cry when I heard it on hairspray. So many people can relate to this song at some point in their lives. I'm almost fifty years old and I remember my grandmother telling me how horrible people were to her when she dated a black man, and I as a child, or now as an adult, couldnt understand why it was wrong

[savannahnicole]

I have a callback and I have to sing a portion of this song. Oh jeez.

[yoongibiasedgirl]

I actually sang this song in 8th grade. I still know the lyrics.

[LolaGonzalez-fvnn]

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 (yeah, yeah)
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 (dream)
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

There's a road (there's a road)
We must travel (we must travel)
There's a promise (there is a promise)
We must make (that we must make)
But the riches (oh, but the riches)
Will be plenty (riches will be plenty)
Worth the risk (worth the risk)
And the chances that we take (and the chances that we take)
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 (pride)
In our hearts (in our hearts)
To lift us up (lift us up)
To tomorrow

'Cause just to sit still
Would be a sin

I know it, I know it
I know where I'm going

And lord knows I know
Where I've been

Oh! When we win
I'll give thanks to my god
'Cause I know where I've been

Fact: if your doing an audition for roles- they need to be strict on character, such as their colour- I auditioned for Edna a week ago and didn’t get the role because I’m mixed race- so this time I’m auditioning again for little Inez and maybelle

We still don't forget the lives that are no longer with us...
