The Greatest Love of All
George Benson Lyrics

I believe the children are our future
The younger generation has the potential to create a better world.

Teach them well and let them lead the way
Provide children with education and guidance to help them become effective leaders.

Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Teach children to recognize and appreciate their own talents and abilities.

Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Encourage children to take pride in themselves, which will help them overcome challenges.

Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Children's carefree joy will remind adults of the happiness they too once experienced.

Everybody is searching for a hero
Everyone looks up to those who have made a significant impact on the world.

People need someone to look up to
Humans require role models to inspire them to be better.

I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
The singer never truly found someone who could provide for him the way he wished.

A lonely place to be
This was an isolating time in the singer's life.

So I learned to depend on me
The singer realized that he is the only one he can truly rely on and began to cultivate self-reliance.

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
The singer made a decision to never allow others to stand in the way of his dreams.

If I fail, if I succeed
The singer recognizes that there are risks associated with taking this path in life.

At least I live as I believe
Regardless of outcomes, the singer knows that he is living his life in a way that aligns with his values.

No matter what they take from me
Others may try and take away his happiness, but true fulfillment can only come from oneself.

They can't take away my dignity
Despite any setbacks, the singer will remain confident and true to himself.

Because the greatest love of all
The strongest love of all.

Is happening to me
The singer has found this love within himself.

I found the greatest love of all
The singer has discovered the most powerful love of all.

Inside of me
The source of this love is not external, it comes from within the singer himself.

The greatest love of all
The most potent form of love.

Is easy to achieve
It is possible for anyone to cultivate this strong love within oneself.

Learning to love yourself
Accepting and embracing oneself for who they truly are.

It is the greatest love of all
The love one has for oneself is the most powerful love of all.

And if by chance, that special place
If someone is ever struggling to find fulfillment and meaning in their life.

That you've been dreaming of
The place where one’s greatest aspirations are realized.

Leads you to a lonely place
Sometimes the chase for happiness and success can be isolating.

Find your strength in love
The singer advises that people find comfort in their love for themselves during these difficult times.
