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 shadow  If I fail, if I succeed  At least I lived 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 shadow  If I fail, if I succeed  At least I lived 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
