I was listening to a Whitney Houston Cd, and all of a sudden I realised the Lyrics of this song was something all us Alanons need to hear.....
"They can't take away my Dignity, because the greatest love of all is happening to me"..
I believe that children of 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 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 It is the greatest love of all
I believe that children of 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 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 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
I've heard this song loads of times over the years, and for the first time ever, I actually listened to the words... Have you????
Wow, that song brings me back in time!! Not positive but I think Dolly Parton wrote that song. I'll have to look that one up. Thanks for sharing Ally, hope all is well. Love, Christine
