Lyrics The Greatest - James Blunt

The Greatest

Too much to say, too much to lose
I get frustrated thinking 'bout the world I brought you to
It’s a battle of time that I have with you
That don’t decide the how, the when, or if we’ll make it through
I feel that you deserve a chance to know the truth, and to be better than
The ones who came before you only to let pride and money weaken them
So be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing, waiting
For someone to come and change it
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest
So many words veiling the truth
The earth is turning and it’s time for us to choose
And people will try to take you down, too
But if I was a betting man, I’d put all my money on you
I know that I have nothing left to give to you to make you better than
The man I failed to be, the friend and father that I know I should have been
So be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing, waiting
For someone to come and change it
Yeah, be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest
Nobody knows what to say (Oh, no)
Nobody shows you the way (Oh, no)
Sometimes it’s hard to see
Who you’re gonna be
So be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing, waiting
For someone to come and change it
Be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest
Be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause the world is standing, waiting
For someone to come and change it
Be the young, the brave, the powerful
'Cause we need a soul to save us
Need someone to be the greatest love
