Steemitcentral Lyrics Challenge Day 34/60 - "Greatest Love of All" By Whitney Houston

Lyrics

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 needs
A lonely place to be
And 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'll 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

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

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll 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

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

Reflection

Whitney Houston is an American singer and actress. She is cited by the Guinness World Records as the most awarded female artist of all time. Not only that, Whitney is also one of the best selling artists of all time.

This song was first recorded in 1977 by George Benson as the soundtrack for the film "The Greatest. His version actually reached number 24 in the USA. The film was a biography of Muhammad Ali.

Greatest Love of All Time is a simple song that talks about love in a relatively new light. Love is usually seen as a strong affection towards a person or thing. But this very song says self love is the greatest of all.
