Lyrics

You were there (Tribute to Sammy Davis Jr.)

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 walk through

And we are here, for all to see --

To be the best that we can be

Yes, I am here....

Because you were there
