Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman - I Know Where I’ve Been [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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 (Ohhhh)
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, 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, yeah
And I know where I've been.

There's a road we must travel
There's a promise that we must make
Oh, but the riches, (the riches will be plenty) I share the riches
Worth the risks and the chances that we take

There's a dream, in the future
There's a struggle that 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

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