To that football coach in high school for putting me through Hell
To the preacher who was kind enough to save me from Myself
To My Wife who chose to marry me in spite of all my flaws
To my best friends who loved me through it all
You were There when even I gave up on me
You were There when the path was too damn dark to see
When the emptiness was far too much to bear
And my heart believed I didn't have a prayer
You were There
To the teachers who encouraged me to be more than I was
To the helpin' hands along the way that were There to pick me up
To my Mom and Dad standing with me while I chase this crazy dream
To all those who had my back you know how much you mean
You were There when even I gave up on me
You were There when the path was too damn dark to see
When the emptiness was far too much to bear
And my heart believed I didn't have a prayer
You were There
To the Heroes that I never got to meet
Who sacrificed it all to keep me Safe and Free
You were there when even I gave up on me
You were There when the path was too damn dark to see
When the emptiness was far too much to bear
And my heart believed I didn't have a prayer
God knows the only reason why I'm here
Cause you were There
You were There
You were There
You were There
You were There
