I Always Knew I Had It In Me (Version 2) lyrics - George Benson

(from "The Greatest" soundtrack)

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 lived and breathed what I believed

Now I've found my place in history

How can I explain to you

The life and times that I 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

Gets the greatest burden to hold

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 lived and breathed what I believed

Now I've found myself in history

Listen to this lullaby

And if you find

It makes you cry

You'll understand a little more

The tears of ages gone before
