I Know Where I've Been (from Hairspray) piano leadsheet with chords

There's a light in the darkness,

though the night is black as my with skin.

There's a light burning bright, I pray the 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 with in.

There's a cry asking "why?"

I pray the answer's up ahead,

'cause I know where I've been.

There's a been.

There's a road

we've been trav'lin',

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.

(Yes, I do!)

And I know where I've been.

There's a road...

a road...)

...we must travel.

must travel.)

There's a promise...

a promise...)

...we must make...

must make...)

...'cause the riches...

the riches...)

...will be plenty,...

be plenty,...)

...worth the risk (...worth the risk) and the 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 to tomorrow,

'cause just to sit still would be a siin.

(I know it, I know it,

I know where I'm goin'!)

Lord knows.

I know where I've been.

Oh, when we wiin, I'll give thanks to my God 'cause I know where I've been!
