I ALWAYS KNEW I HAD IT IN ME
GEORGE BENSON
My spirit cried, once locked in chains
can I forgive you now for all my pain?
What would you have done if you had been me?
I live and breathe what I believe
Now I've found my place in history
How can I explain to you
the life and times that I've lived through?
The friends I loved along the way
Are still within my heart today.
My life is only just beginning
I've got a lot of things to do and say
Maybe together we can find a way
Every man who stands alone
Bears the greatest burden known
I always knew I had it in me
My spirit cried once locked in chains
Can I forgive you now for all my pain?
What would you have done if you had been me?
I live and breathe what I believe
Now I've found my place in history
Listen to this lullaby
and if you find it makes you cry
You'll understand forever more
the tears of ages gone before
