Lyrics : You Were There (Live from Sammy Davis Jr. 60th Anniversary Celebration 1989)

You were there before we came
You took the hurt, you took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
You beat them down, you won the day
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
You taught them all, you made them care
Yes, you were there, and thanks to you
There's now a door we all walkthrough
And we are here, for all to see...
To be the best that we can be
Yes, I am here...
Because... you... were... there
