I Know Where I've Been

MOTORMOUTH
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
'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 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
And i know where i've been

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
There's a road
We must travel
There's a promise
We must make
'Cause the riches
Will be plenty
Worth the risk
And 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 up
To tomorrow

'Cause just to sit still
Would be a sin

ENSEMBLE
I know it, i know it
I know where i'm going

MOTORMOUTH
And lord knows i know..
Where i've been

MOTORMOUTH & ENSEMBLE
Oh! When we win,
I'll give thanks to my god
'Cause i know where i've been

Whats there left to say when disaster falls upon your family and yourself consecutively throughout the whole year? Whats there left to say when everyone you love leaves you and you feel empty all day? Whats there left to say when your parents have really REALLY had the very worst day and yet still puts up a brave front and tries to act normal, as if nothing was wrong? Whats there left to say when all you can do is watch your family get swallowed in by this year? Whats there left to say when all you can do is nothing, NOTHING, but watch your father and mother take all the stress alone in the middle of the night, staying awake thinking how they are going to live? Whats there left to say when everyone else in your family is so caught up with their own lives and dont seem to care about that woman staring into space on the sofa after the cremation of her father? Whats there left to say when he has to go back to work the next day and just the day before his mother left him and he actually had a choice to voice out just to keep her but it would be selfish? Whats there left to say when your parents disappear one by one and you are left all alone in this world with nothing to look forward to but work?

NOTHING.
