(Verse 2 – Gaza Slim) Everybody searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone to fulfilled my needs A lovely place to be An so I learn to depend on me I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I live desirably No matter what they take from me They can take away my dignity Because am greatest, the love of all Is happening to me, its happening to me I found the greatest love of all inside of me
