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."
