I know where I've been by Queen Latifah, from Hairspray
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
yeah
'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
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
Yeah
There's a road (There's a road)
We must travel (We must travel)
There's a promise (There is a promise)
We must make (That we must make)
But the riches (oh but the riches)
Will be plenty (The riches will be plenty)
Worth the risk (Worth the risk)
And the chances that we take (and the chances that we)
There's a dream
Yeah yey yeah
In the future
There's a struggle
That 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
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

Hi guys!
I posted this song. Last week my Highschool put on the musical Hairspray (yes the movie with Zac Efron singing, besides HSM lol), and being a good Alumni, I went to see it. It brought me back really, how much darkness is in the world. But also how many people do want to change that, along with God.
I love Queen Latifah and her voice, especially in this song. I don't know what her faith is in, but I hope it's with God. It seems otherwise with something she did last year..but i'm not going to judge. Well, try not to.
Anywho, tell me if you also love Hairspray or seen it, or who your favourite character was in it! :)
