Yeah,Uhh... Uhh... Yeah.. It's the worlds greatest, Yo, It's the worlds greatest, Come on, Worlds Greatest, Ever

I am a mountain I am a tall tree Oh, I am a swift wind Sweepin' the country I am a river Down in the valley Oh, I am a vision And I can see clearly If anybody asks u who I am Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

//[Chorus]// I'm that star up in the sky I'm that mountain peak up high Hey, I made it I'm the worlds greatest And I'm that little bit of hope When my backs against the ropes I can feel it mmm I'm the worlds greatest

I am a giant I am an eagle I am a lion Down in the jungle I am a marchin' band I am the people I am a helpin' hand And I am a hero If anybody asks u who I am Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say

//[Chorus]//

I'm that star up in the sky I'm that mountain peak up high I made it I'm the worlds greatest And I'm that little bit of hope When my backs against the ropes I can feel it I'm the worlds greatest

In the ring of life I'll reign love (I will reign) And the world will notice a king (Oh Yeah) When all is darkest, I'll shine a light (Shine a light) And use a success you'll find in me (Me) I'm that star up in the sky I'm that mountain peak up high Hey, I made it I'm the world's greatest And I'm that little bit of hope When my back's against the ropes I can feel it I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky I'm that mountain peak up high Hey, I made it I'm the world's greatest And I'm that little bit of hope When my back's against the ropes I can feel it I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky I'm that mountain peak up high (X2) //[*]//

It's the greatest Can you feel it It's the greatest Can you feel it

//[Repeat * while:]// I saw the light At the end of a tunnel Believe in the pot of gold At the end of the rainbow And faith was right there To pull me through, yeah Used to be locked doors Now I can just walk on through Hey, uh, hey, hey, hey It's the greatest I'm that star up in the sky I'm that star up in the sky I'm that mountain peak up high Hey, I made it I'm the world's greatest And I'm that little bit of hope When my back's against the ropes I can feel it I'm the world's greatest

__The song__ This song is by far one of the best songs i ever heard in my live.What I found most amazing and fascinating are the rythym and the lyrics of this song. In this song R.Kelly, the singer, is acting as if he was a boxer, a kid wants an autograph of his idol, but the guard doesn’t let him enter and finally the “boxer” lets him enter, this shows his good character towards the current people, but the most important part of the song is that he wants to reflect that being a boxer, or a famous person doesn’t make you a hero, the real heroes are people who day through day changes the world to better and always are there if you need help, but they are not recognized by people, I’m talking about the firemen, the police, the doctors, the soldiers… This people give their lives for a better world, they fight against nature, really bad people, against death… in order to save our lives. In this song this is what is saying, that the real heroes are these people, and they should be respected from everybody. In the song, the singer tells to everybody to fight for what they want, do not br afraid of yourself and defeat your problems saying that you are the best and you will not give up.

__Conclusion:__

When I hear this song I remember of this last summer, with my Canadian friends on the fire pit with marshmallows listening and singing all together this great song. This song makes me think of how fortunate I am and all the good things I have, my family, my friends… And how other people are fighting to get a decent live and are doing great things to make our world a better place to live. Finally, this song makes me want to defeat myself with new and more difficult objectives throughout my live.
