Glee Cast - I Know Where I've Been Lyrics






[Unique:]
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

[Unique (Transpersons Choir):]
There's a cry (Oooh) in the distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within
There's a cry (Oooh) asking why, I pray the answer's up ahead
'Cause I know where I've been

(Ahh) There's a road we've been travelin'
(Ahh) Lost so many on the way
(Oooh) But the riches will be plenty

[Unique with Transpersons Choir harmonizing:]
Worth the price, the price we had to pay

[Unique (Transpersons Choir):]
There's a dream (Dream) in the future (Oooh)
There's a struggle (Struggle!) that we have yet to win (Oooh)
And there's pride (Pride!) in my heart (In my heart!)

[Unique with Transpersons Choir harmonizing:]
'Cause I know where I'm going, yes I do
And I know where I've been, yeah

[Transpersons Choir (Unique):]
There's a road (There's a road) we must travel (We must travel)
There's a promise (There's a promise) we must make (We must make)
Oh, but the riches, (Oh, but the riches) the riches will be plenty (The riches will be plenty)
Worth the risks (Worth the risks) and the chances (and the chances)

[Unique with Transpersons Choir:]
That we take

[Transpersons Choir (Unique):]
There's a dream, (There's a dream) in the future

[Unique (Transpersons Choir):]
There's a struggle (Struggle) that we have yet to win (We have yet to win)
Use that pride (Use that pride) in our hearts (In our hearts)

[Unique with Transpersons Choir harmonizing:]
To lift us up to tomorrow
'Cause just to it still would be a sin

[Transpersons Choir:]
I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going

[Unique:]
Lord knows I know where I've been

[Unique with Transpersons Choir:]
Oh, when we win, I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been!

  13. N.... H....

    3:44-3:58 got me in tears. I listen to this with ice cream

  14. J.... M....

    Great song

  15. S.... W....

    One of my favorite songs to sing, and it took me so long to train my voice to hit those high notes at the end of the song

    S.... W....

    Sam Willis I know those notes are crazy high! I still can't hit em

    S.... W....

    Sam Willis The song is hard to hit. But if you have enough power and can go hard and you are soulful then this song should be easy for you.

    S.... W....

    @Isaiah Willimas those three qualities combined are pretty tough to get though😂😂

  16. c.... ....

    my girl sang her heart out yaaas!!

    c.... ....

    @Tristan McKinley i think they know, but said she because it's a girl in the show :)

  17. C.... T....

    That chord progression at the end gave me goosebumps on top of the goosebumps I already had from the rest of the song

    C.... T....

    ikr my goosebumps got goosebumps

  18. b.... S....

    i started crying when she said "lost so many along the way", R.I.P CORY💖

    b.... S....

    also all the trans people who were murdered

    b.... S....

    The song comes from the HAIRSPRAY musical... so I guess while you could say that's what the lyrics refer to in this episode of the show, this song within the musical refers to African Americans that were murdered fighting to end segregation...

    b.... S....

    Conscious_Whisper i think we can all agree while this song was made about racism it is just like paralellism to lgbt+ fighting for their rights after/during the discrimination of poc

    b.... S....

    @bAngTanfam Stan ot7 you don't decide to identify as something...I mean...

    b.... S....

    Morgana Kitsune Of course you do, no one else chooses it for you, and while sure. You don’t get to CHOOSE to feel comfortable as your born sex it’s still your decision on whether or not you go through with anything

  19. K.... F....

    All of me

  20. J.... B....

    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 we must travel
    There's a promise we must make
    Oh, but the riches, the riches will be plenty
    Worth the risks and the chances that we take

    There's a dream, yeah, 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 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

  21. L.... A....
