                 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!)

And I know where I've been

We must travel (...we must travel)

Worth the risk (Worth the risk) 

And the chances (And the chances)

That we take (That we taaaake)

To lift us up

To tomorrow  

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

Would be a sin

'Cause I know where I've been!
