The Greatest Love Of All

by Lea Salonga

on I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing (1997), Little Ms.Lea Salonga: Tomorrow

(l. creed/m. masser)

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

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my need
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago


Never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I lived 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
Is the greatest love of all

(repeat 1st stanza and chorus)

And if by chance that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
