The Greatest Love of All

analysed by Authea Au & Lynelle Akana

---

1. I believe the children are our future--teach them well and let them lead the way

Professionalizing/conditioning the self

2. Show them all the beauty they possess inside--give them a sense of pride to make it easier

Inner goodness/worth confidence and satisfaction

3. Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

4. Everybody's searchin for a hero--people need someone to look up to

False attraction

5. I never found anyone who fulfilled my need--a lonely place to be, so I learned to depend on me

Relying on self

6. I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow

Living in false pretense

7. If I fail, if I succeed, at least I'll live as I believe

Personal goal

8. No matter what they take from me--they can't take away my dignity

Self preservation

9. Because the greatest love of all was happening to me--I found the greatest love of all inside of me

Inner satisfaction

10. The greatest love of all is easy to achieve--learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all

Powerful inner fulfillment

11. And if by chance that special place, that you've been dreaming of--should lead you to a lonely place then find the strength in love
