You were there
Before we came
You took the hurt
You took the shame
They build a wall
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...
'Cause you were there!
(written and composed by Michael Jackson & Buz Kohan)
