...watching all this going on this last decade and the division in our country...gotta be tough on kids, maybe more than us...let's keep this in mind for the kids...remember, they, like us, are looking for heroes...

and someday we are all going to need them to be there for us...let's make sure we all fulfill their needs wherever and whenever we can and to be someone they can depend on... but aslo remind those who have grown and didn't have someone there...

I believe the children are our are 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 childrens 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 anyones shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They cant 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 childrens laughter remind us how we used to be

Chorus

And if by chance, that special place
That youve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
