Song 1: Unidentified male sings \u201cThe Greatest Love\u201d:<\/i><\/p>\n

I believe that children are our future
\nTeach them well and let them lead the way
\nShow them all the beauty they possess inside
\nGive them a sense of pride to make it easier
\nLet the children\u2019s laughter remind us how it used to be<\/p>\n

Everybody searching for a hero
\nPeople need someone to look up to
\nI never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
\nA lonely place to be
\nSo I learned to depend on me<\/p>\n

I decided long ago
\nNever to walk in anyone\u2019s shadows
\nIf I fail, if I succeed
\nAt least I lived as I believe
\nNo matter what they take from me
\nThey can\u2019t take away my dignity<\/p>\n

Because the greatest love of all
\nWhat\u2019s happening to me
\nI found that greatest love of all
\nInside of me
\nThe greatest love of all
\nIs easy to achieve
\nLearning to love yourself
\nIt is the greatest love of all<\/p>\n

I believe the children are our future
\nTeach them well and let them lead the way
\nShow them all the beauty they possess inside
\nIf you give them a sense of pride
\n(speaks rapidly) You maybe gotta give them a sense of pride
\n(sings) make it easier
\nLet the children\u2019s laughter remind us how it used to be<\/p>\n

I decided long ago
\nNever to walk in anyone\u2019s shadow
\nIf I fail, if I succeed
\nAt least I lived as I believe
\nNo matter what they take from us
\nThey can\u2019t take away our dignity<\/p>\n

Because the greatest love of all
\nWas happening to me
\nI found that greatest love of all
\nInside of me
\nThe greatest love of all
\nOh, it\u2019s easy to achieve
\nLearning to love yourself
\nIt\u2019s the greatest love of all<\/p>\n

And if by chance, that special place
\nThat you\u2019ve been dreaming of
\nLeads you to a lonely place
\nFind your strength in love<\/p>\n

Song 2: sung by unidentified woman:<\/i><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll make the first step, and you will make the next
\nAnd we\u2019ll join hands the farther we go
\nThe hills may sometimes seem hard for you to climb
\nBut I know we\u2019re gonna make it by and by
\nWe\u2019ll go on for years
\n(unintelligible line)
\nWe\u2019ll live together in peace<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll\u2013 I\u2019m gonna, I\u2019m gonna make the first step,
\nAnd I know you, you will make the next
\nAnd we\u2019ll join hands the farther we go
\nSometime the hills may sometimes seem hard for you to climb
\nBut I know we going to make it if we try\u2013\u00a0if we try
\nAnd I know, I know, I know, we\u2019ll go on for years
\n(unintelligible line)
\nTo live together in peace
\nTogether in peace<\/p>\n

Song 3 (version of \u201cYou Are So Beautiful To Me\u201d):<\/i><\/p>\n

Jonestown is so beautiful
\nTo all of us
\nJonestown is so beautiful to me,
\nYes I see
\nIf you look\u2013 If you look,
\nIt\u2019s everything
\nI\u2019d ever hoped for
\nOh, it\u2019s everything, everything, everything to me
\nYeah, yeah
\nJonestown is so beautiful to me.<\/p>\n

Jonestown is so beautiful
\nYes it is, to me.
\nJonestown is so beautiful to me.
\nYes I see, yes I see, yes I see, yes I see
\nIt\u2019s everything these eyes ever hoped for
\nAnd it\u2019s everything everything everything everything everything everything to me
\nI said, Jonestown is so beautiful
\nI just want to clap these old hands
\nJonestown is so beautiful
\nI want to stomp my feet
\nJonestown is so beautiful
\nI just want to jump up and down
\nJonestown is so beautiful
\nLet it ring from the (unintelligible word)
\nJonestown is so beautiful
\nOne more time, one more time
\nJonestown is so beautiful
\nEverybody
\nTo me.
\nYeah.<\/p>\n
