“When I Needed a Neighbor Were You There?”
When I needed a neighbor
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a neighbor
Were you there?
And the creed and the color
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty
Were you there, were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty
Were you there?
And the creed and the color
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?
I was cold, I was naked
Were you there, were you there?
I was cold, I was naked
Were you there?
And the creed and the color
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?
When I needed a shelter
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a shelter
Were you there?
And the creed and the color
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?
When I needed a healer
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a healer
Were you there?
And the creed and the color
And the name won’t matter
Were you there?
Wherever you travel
I’ll be there, I’ll be there.
Wherever you travel
I’ll be there.
And the creed and the color
And the name won’t matter
I’ll be there.
