{UAH} THE WORLD'S GREATEST

Afuwa Kasule/ Mayimuna/ Rajab Ali/ Edward Mo Irundrua/ Semuwemba/ Ahmed kateregga,

I hope music is not haram nor violates your religious convictions, in which case please tune in to this great song by R Kelly played in memory of the Greatest Mohammed Ali. It is a classic and one of the iconic songs of all times. When we come to power, we will ask all primary schools to play it to their school assembles every week. Its inspirational exhortation to black people to stand up tall and be the world's greatest is the sweetest message any one could give to a child. And most of the lyrics are put together from the numerous speeches of the Greatest himself, all compiled into one lullaby of hope, strength, and soul-searching, punchy, life enhancing melody. 

It is sad that R Kelly has fallen off the pedestal with recent sex slavery allegations made against him, but here he is at his supreme best. The song is  more of a negro spiritual  redolent of the black struggle for freedom. It is a wonderful song about a truly wonderful man, hero and  and icon.

R. Kelly - I'm The World's Greatest (Lyrics)
Lyrics
I am a mountain, 
I am a tall tree, oh
I am a swift wind 
Sweeping the country
I am a river, 
Down in the valley, oh
I am a vision
And I can see clearly
If anybody asks you who I am, just stand up tall, look 'em in the face and say
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey I made it, hmm
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it, hmm
I'm the worlds greatest
I am a giant
I am an Eagle oh
I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marching band
I am the people oh
I am a helping hand 
I am a hero
If anybody asks you who I am, just stand up tall look 'em in the face and say
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey I made it, hmm
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it, hmm
I'm the worlds greatest
In the ring of life,
I'll reign in love (I will reign) 
And the world will notice a king (oh, yeah) 
When all is darkness,
I'll shine a light (shine a light) 
And the mirrors of sucesss reflect 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 worlds greatest
I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest
Can you feel it?
(Can you feel it?)He's the greatest
(He's the greatest)Can you feel it?
(Can you feel it?)I saw the light
(He's the greatest)At the end of the tunnel
(Can you feel it?)Believe in a pot of gold
(He's the greatest)At the end of a rainbow
Songwriters: Robert S. Kelly
