MAYBELLE
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,
The price we had to pay

There's a dream in the futureThere'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 we must travelThere's a promise, we must make
But the riches, the riches will be plenty
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 it still
Would be a sin
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
