A song

So, I was looking over the last post and thinking what i should have added, edited, deleted and spat at when a song came to my head. You will laugh, but this is a song from the movie Hairspray. It is sung beautifully by Queen Latifah (Dana Owens if you will) and pops into my head with alarming frequency. Because i'm not savvy enough with the technology to post a video or song on here I will do the old fashion copy and paste. I'm sure you can find it on the youtube, but this will be a great start.

Artist: Hairspray the Musical
Album: Musical/Ost
Title: 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
