All Eyes On Me
The Hit Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 use to be.
Everybody's searching for a hero;
People need someone to look up to.
A lonely place to be, and so I learned to depend on me.
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.
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 use to be.
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.
And if by chance that special place that you've been dreaming of
Lead you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
These lyrics are from the song “Greatest Love of All” by Whitney Houston. The song speaks about how the future generation should be taught with love and care because they are the ones who will carry the society forward. It also highlights the importance of self-love and never giving up on oneself. The song begins with the line “I believe that children are our future” which is the core message of the song. The singer urges listeners to teach children well and show them the beauty they possess inside. This, according to the singer, will make it easier for them to lead a good life in the future.
The next few lines speak about how everyone longs for a hero, someone to look up to, but the singer never found anyone to fulfill this need. The singer then says that they decided never to walk in anyone’s shadow, and live as they believe. This would mean that even if they fail or succeed, they would do it on their terms. The next line is about how no matter what anyone takes from them, they cannot take away their dignity. The song then moves to the chorus where the singer speaks about finding the greatest love of all inside of them, which is self-love. The song ends with an uplifting message that if someone finds themselves in a lonely place, they should find their strength in love.
