(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.

How true... | Reviewer: I loveMJ | 2/22/10
Oh I so wish this would be sung as a tribute to Michael himself...it couldn't be more apt! Michael, you are so missed you cannot even begin to imagine how much!! I think it is even surprising the fans themselves, it is fysically hurting!! RIP Michael Jackson, we all bow in respect of your achievements.

I absolutely agree! This song does apply to Michael Jackson himself and what an eloquent song it is. Thank you Mr. Jackson for always allowing for love...even in the face of prejudice. Miss your presence terribly.

This song is so beautiful and moving. Michael Jackson sang this in tribute to Sammy Davis Jr., yet in so many ways it applies to Michael Jackson himself. I think it should be sung back in tribute to the King of Pop, Rock, and Soul, Michael Jackson. RIP Michael Jackson. You have inspired and touched so many lives with your music, dance, passion, creativity, and kindness. You are deeply missed.
