When I needed a neighbour
Were you there, were you there?
When I needed a neighbour
Were you there?
And the creed and the colour and the name don'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 colour and the name don't matter
Were you there?
There were about 4 more verses of this, but I can't remember them just yet, when I do - I'll post them in here :)

Wherever you travel
I'll be there, I'll be there.
Wherever you travel
I'll be there.
And the creed and the colour
And the name won't matter
I'll be there.
This hymn was written by Sydney Carter who is represented by Stainer & Bell in Britain http://www.stainer.co.uk/index.html
We sang this at school too - especially primary school with Mr Griffiths looking over his shoulder at us as he played the piano...
