The Greatest

Too much to say, too much to loseI get frustrated thinking 'bout the world I brought you toIt's a battle of time that I have with youThat don't decide the how, the whenOr if we'll make it throughI feel that you deserve a chance to know the truthAnd to be better thanThe ones who came before youOnly to let pride and money weaken themSo be the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause the world is standing, waitingFor someone to come and change itYeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause we need a soul to save usNeed someone to be the greatestSo many words veiling the truthThe earth is turning and it's time for us to chooseAnd people will try to take you down, tooBut if I was a betting man, I'd put all my money on youI know that I have nothing left to give to youTo make you better thanThe man I failed to be, the friend and fatherThat I know I should have beenSo be the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause the world is standing, waitingFor someone to come and change itYeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause we need a soul to save usNeed someone to be the greatestNobody knows what to say (Oh, no)Nobody shows you the way (Oh, no)Sometimes it's hard to seeWho you're gonna beSo be the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause the world is standing, waitingFor someone to come and change itBe the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause we need a soul to save usNeed someone to be the greatestBe the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause the world is standing, waitingFor someone to come and change itBe the young, the brave, the powerful'Cause we need a soul to save usNeed someone to be the greatest love
