The World's Greatest
R Kelly · Chocolate Factory
I am a tall tree
ohhhhh
I am a swift wind sweeping the country
I am a river down in the valley
ohhhhh
I'm a vision and I can see clearly
If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall
Look'em at the face and say
ay
Refrain:
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the rope
I can feel it I'm the worlds greatest
I am a gaint
I am an eagle
ohhhhhh
I am a lion down in the jungle
I am a marching band
I am the people
ohhhh
I am a helping hand
I am a hero
If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall
Look'em at the face and say
Refrain:
Bridge 1:

Bridge 2:
