Queen Latifah - I Know Where I've Been Lyrics
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
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
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 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

That last note 😍😍😍😍 on been
One of the most beautiful and inspiring song I’ve heard in my life.
She's one of those singers who don't need autotune to sound angelic.
I love her voice it's really powerful
I didn't know she could sing, beautiful voice
It's cool that she knew her limits, I was looking forward to the end belt though
I find it odd when they get really white chairs for this song
I guess if they had one set of backing vocals for the whole night it makes sense to not worry about it
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 traveling
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
But the riches will be plenty
Worth the risk and the chances that we take
There's a dream 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 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
There's a light in the darkness
Though the night is black as my skin
There's a light burning bright

Just watched Hairspray for the umpteenth time, and this song is so beautiful... as is Queen Latifah!
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL WISH SHE WAS MY WOMAN
SHE IS A QUEEN!
I don't like that it was a choir made up of mostly white people
@Wesley Imschoot I understand how it makes me sound however this song was written for a musical and was meant to be performed by strong black voices singing about how there's a dream in the future and a change is going to come for colored people in america in 1962. The performance was good in the end I on a personal level would like for the performers to resemble the original place where the song comes from.
@Bryan Carrillo And who is the main focus in this performance? A strong black woman.
@Wesley Imschoot yes you are right but I am just saying personally I feel as if there should be more black artists at this even singing with her. This was a song written for them and they should get the opportunity to perform it especially at a major even like this one.
@Bryan Carrillo I guess we'll just settle on agreeing to disagree then.
@Wesley Imschoot I guess so. I respect your oppinion and see where you are coming from
The choir was a disgrace but Queen still stays Queen
Amazing ❤❤❤👑👑👑👑
2020 !!!!!
Hermosa,no sabía que cantaba
fantastc
The people who disliked this please explain why I wanna know seriously💁🏾♀️
Maravilhosa

Alem de um espetáculo de mulher e atriz ainda canta muito, sou apaixonado com keen latifha!!!
Wow I’m use to hearing her rap, but she made this song sounding, a hit for me”❤️🎉
The choir needed to do a lower sound.. they were all over the place not listening to each other and drowning queen latifah sound..
Arrasoou ❣️❣️❣️
Everybody in the choir get they own mic? What up with voice control???
she doesn't have to sing higher than C5 to make this beautiful ❤💯
She Slayed, Sang Queen , Should’ve had Georgia Mass Choir behind her 🙌🏿 2019
I love Queen Latifah ! Amazing woman and singer 👏👏👏👏💕❤️🥰
Who is on Saxophone? I'm in love!

So there’s 250 people that don’t know music
That's a boss right there.
Dana Owens arrived that night.
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 traveling
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

'Cause I know where I'm going, yes, I do

'Cause I know where I've been

That Choir lacked SEASONING!
We did hairspray for our school play and my friend Justice murdered this song
They don't call her QUEEN for nothing 👑
Been my movie since i was since ii was five 2012
❤️❤️ such a strong, independent, beautiful woman. An amazing idol for all women. Love Queen Latifah. ❤️
I tend to sometimes forget Queen Latifah was a singer before the acting.
that choir just dead AF maybe cuzz they all white if it were black men and women they would make it beautiful and truly understand the song
*Enough to make a grown man cry*
Love her! She made me laugh so much in the movie Taxi.
What I'd give to hear jazmine Sullivan sing this!!!
Wow 😮 go queen latifah. God bless
The choir does not support the song. Absolutely no soul whatsoever.
