I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way!

The Greatest Love of All

by Michael Masser and Linda Creed

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!

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!

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!

I grew up on the George Benson version. Do you remember singing this in music class?

And then Whitney did it… Don’t front… When you 1st heard this at least 1 tear hit those cheeks!
