The Greatest - James Blunt

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
