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 of how it use to be Everybody's searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone to fulfill my needs A lonely place to be So I learned to depend on me Chorus: I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow 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 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 use to be Chorus And if by chance that special place That you've been dreaming of Leads you to a lonely place Find your strength in love
