u were there, before we came
u took the hurt, u took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
u beat them down, u won the dag
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
u taught them all, u made them care
Yes u were there and thanks to u
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 u were there
u took the hurt, u took the shame
They built the walls to block your way
u beat them down, u won the dag
It wasn't right, it wasn't fair
u taught them all, u made them care
Yes u were there and thanks to u
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 u were there
