LYRICS

MISS 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 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
And i know where i've been

MISS MAYBELLE & 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
Until 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


I DO NOT OWN THE KARAOKE TRACK.

  • @mizzchristine1 imagine pain :P I guess...?

  • singing this for school... any tips?

  • @abigarly I don't think you have to be black to sing this song. True, it is a bit strange. But this song is about more then black racism. It's about equality. Overcoming discrimination to make a difference in the world. I think, as long as it comes from the heart, and you truely mean it; any nationality could sing this song.

  • @04campbellk as long as you can sing and that you're black... That sounds racist but it's always awkward when a white person sings 'though the night is as black as my skin'
