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 
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

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
