Tuesday's Song - 21

The Greatest Love of All
George Benson
Words and music by michael masser and linda creed


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 childrens 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

Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They cant 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 childrens laughter remind us how we used to be

back to 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

Renungan :
Kadang orang mencari kedamaian, kebanggaan, dan kebahagiaan diri di tempat yang salah. Mencari dan nggak mendapatkan. Akhirnya kecewa. Padahal kedamaian, kebanggaan dan kebahagiaan kita berawal dari diri sendiri. Menerima diri sendiri dan bangga dengan diri sendiri, adalah bagian dari mencintai diri. Bukan berarti egoistis dan egosentris. Bukankah berdamai dengan diri sendiri, adalah kunci untuk bisa berdamai dengan orang lain. Bagaimana bisa mengasihi orang lain, kalau nggak bisa mengasihi diri sendiri.
