THE GREATEST AMERICAN
[ easy-listening ]


                         "Alone we can do so little
                         Together we can do so much"
                         You cause the deaf to hear
                         And set free the lame to touch
                         Our hearts with life's emotion
                         So that we, though blind might see
                         Through the mirror of your star
                         The love of the Creator of eternity

                         You fought the mighty battle
                         Among the simple and the weak
                         You healed our wounds and scars
                         And caused the dumb to speak
                         Of hope and love's pure treasure
                         So patient and so kind
                         We know now who is deaf
                         And who is truly blind

                         We thank you Helen Keller
                         For the life you freely shared
                         In the meekness of your soul
                         With a heart that truly cared
                         We find courage and inspiration
                         From the cross you bravely bore
                         And when we reach our destiny
                         We'll thank you forever more

                         "Alone we can do so little
                         Together we can do so much"
                         You cause the deaf to hear
                         And set free the lame to touch
                         Our soul with love's pure treasure
                         So that we, though blind might see
                         Through the mirror of your star
                         The love of the Creator of eternity

                         You showed us love's pure treasure
                         So patient and so kind
                         We know now who is deaf
                         And who is truly blind
                         Yes, we know now who is deaf
                         And who is truly blind

                              "Alone we can do so little,
                              Together we can do so much."
