Lyrics:
I believe the children are our futureTeach them well and let them lead the wayShow them all the beauty they possess insideGive them a sense of pride to make it easierLet the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a heroPeople need someone to look up toI never found anyone who fulfill my needsA lonely place to beAnd so I learned to depend on me
I decided long agoNever to walk in anyone’s shadowsIf I fail, if I succeedAt least I’ll live as I believeNo matter what they take from meThey can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of allIs happening to meI found the greatest love of allInside of meThe greatest love of allIs easy to achieveLearning to love yourselfIt is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our futureTeach them well and let them lead the wayShow them all the beauty they possess insideGive them a sense of pride to make it easierLet the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be
I decided long agoNever to walk in anyone’s shadowsIf I fail, if I succeedAt least I’ll live as I believeNo matter what they take from meThey can’t take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of allIs happening to meI found the greatest love of allInside of me
The greatest love of allIs easy to achieveLearning to love yourselfIs the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special placeThat you’ve been dreaming ofLeads you to a lonely placeFind your strength in love
