The Greatest Love Of All

(I know that Whitney Houston had a huge hit with this song, but the George Benson original is the version that I love and I found the lyrics to be inspiring in my youth.)

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 children's laughter remind us how we used to be Everybody searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone to fulfill my needs A lonely place to be So I learned to depend on me I decided long ago Never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I will live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Chorus: Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all I believe the 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 children's laughter remind us how we used to be And I decided long ago Never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I will live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Chorus: Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all And if by chance, that special place That you've been dreaming of Leads you to a lonely place Find your strength in love
