The Greatest Love Of All
George Benson · Other Songs - George Benson
Teach them well and let them
Lead the way
show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense
Of pride
To make it easier
Let the childrenÂ’s laughter
Remind us how we used
To beÂ…..
Everybody is searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
IÂ’ve never found anyone who fulfilled my need..
I know the place
To be
So I learned to depend
On meÂ…
I decided long ago
Never to walk
In anyoneÂ’s shadow
If I fail
If I succeed
At least I went as I believe
No matter what
They take from me
They canÂ’t take away
My dignityÂ….
Because the greatest
Love of all
Is happening to me
IÂ’ve found the greatest love of all
InsideÂ….Of me
The greatest love
Of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
Is the greatest love
Of all
I believe that children are our future
Teach them well and let them
Lead the way
show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense
Of pride
To make it easier
Let the childrenÂ’s laughter
Remind us how we used
To beÂ…..
I decided long ago
Never to walk
In anyoneÂ’s shadow
If I fail
If I succeed
At least I went as I believe
No matter what
They take from me
They canÂ’t take away
My dignityÂ….
Because the greatest
Love of all
Is happening to me
IÂ’ve found the greatest love of all
InsideÂ….Of me
The greatest love
Of all
Is easy to achieve
Loving to love yourself
Is the greatest love
Of all
And if by chance that special
Place
That youÂ’ve been dreaming of
Leads you to a longer place
Put the strength in love
