Very sad how Whitneyâs life, like many celebrities, spiraled out of control until it took a turn for the worse with her passing from a drug overdose in a bathtub. Then only 3 years later, her 22 year old daughter and only child, died the same way in a bathtub.
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
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 childrenâs laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybodyâs searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
[Pre-Chorus]
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyoneâs shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least Iâll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They canât take away my dignity
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 childrenâs laughter remind us how we used to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyoneâs shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least Iâll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They canât take away my dignity
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
And if, by chance, that special place
That youâve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
