I Am Sam

I am Sam I am that I am I am the one who became the first openly gay footballer in America I am Sam I am that I am I am the black man But I am Sam who does not see my gayness as having anything to do with my professional career which was a choice until like sexuality I am Sam I am that I am I am the one who does not want to be judged by the color of my life style but by my actions on the field of play and the character of my heart I am Sam I am that I am I am the Sam who is connected to the Rainbow Connection and I am a bridge to help others like me to come out come out no matter wherever you are to Saint Louis The name of the Star I am Sam I am that I am I am the you and I am me I am that I am I am the Sam the Ram
