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 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 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 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
