Intro:  
G    C/G  Dm/G  C/G   G  C/G  G  D   X9     C/D 
  
                 G 
There's a light  
             B5+           B7 
In the darkness 
                       Em 
Though the night 
                          Cm  
Is black as my skin  
                  G 
There's a light 
                B5+ (C9)  
Burning bright  
Em     G7/D         C             F#7 (F#9) 
Showing me the way  
B7 (C5)                        Em 
But I know where I've been  
                 G 
There's a cry 
            B5+           B7  
In the distance  
           Em 
It's a voice 
                                                Cm           Dm/C  
That comes from deep within  
Cm           G 
There's a cry  
               B5+ (C9) 
Asking "why?"  
                   Em   G7/D      C         F#7 (F#9) 
I pray the answer's up ahead  
            B7 (C5)                  Em 
'Cause I know where I've been  

                 Am7 
There's a road 
                      Em  
We've been trave'lin' 
                Am7           Em  
Lost so many on the way 
             Bm  
But the riches  
             C7 
Will be plenty 
                 C#dim7  
Worth the price 
       A#dim7 
The price 
                  Bsus      B        D      C/D 
We had to pay  

                  G 
There's a dream  
            B5+            B7 
In the future  
                   Em 
There's a struggle 
                          Cm       Dm/C 
We have yet to win  
Cm               G/D 
And there's pride  
         B7 C9 D# 
In my heart  
          Em       G7/D 
'Cause I know  
                    C        G/B       Am7 
Where I'm going    (Yes, I do!) 
        C/D                         G 
And I know where I've been

Worth the risk (Worth the risk)

That we take (That we taaaake)

Use that pride  
             C7 (C#5 E 
In our hearts

To lift us up

To tomorrow  

                               C7 (C#5) 
'Cause just to sit still

Would be a sin  

(ENSEMBLE)

'Cause I know where I've been!
