I believe the children are our future   Teach them well and let them lead the way   Show them all the beauty they possess inside   Give them a sense of pride to make it easier   Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be      Everybody's searching for a hero   People need someone to look up to   I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs   A lonely place to be   And so I learned to depend on me      I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows   If I fail, if I succeed at least I live as I believe   No matter what they take from me   They can't take away my dignity      Because the greatest love of all is happening to me   I found the greatest love of all inside of me   The greatest love of all is easy to achieve   Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all      I believe the children are our future   Teach them well and let them lead the way   Show them all the beauty they possess inside   Give them a sense of pride to make it easier   Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be      I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows   If I fail, if I succeed at least I live as I believe   No matter what they take from me   They can't take away my dignity      Because the greatest love of all is happening to me   I found the greatest love of all inside of me   The greatest love of all is easy to achieve   Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all      And if by chance that special place   That you've been dreaming of   Leads you to a lonely place   Find your strength in love
