Well, searching under ‘will you be there’ wikipedia says:

- The full version of the song includes a prelude featuring the Cleveland Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus performing a portion of Beethoven’s ninth symphony. The segment is from the fourth movement and is a lesser known portion of the famous “Ode to Joy” -

I’ve listened and can hear the similarity but that section of the 9th Symphony wasn’t readily available from a quick search, so if you listen to the whole thing you may find exactly what you’re looking for.
