(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.
