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 who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll 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
I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll 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
Is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
1985년 발매된《Whitney Houston》의 수록되어 그녀의 3번째 빌보드 HOT100 No.1 을 차지하게 해준 곡으로, 조지 벤슨의 원곡을 커버한 곡이다.
Michael Masser가 작곡을, Linda Creed가 작사를 맏고 Michael Masser가 프로듀싱 하였다.
또한 영화 보디가드의 OST인 I Will always Love You가 발매되기 전까지 그녀의 곡들 중 가장 오랫동안 No.1 자리를 차지했던 곡으로, 작품성도 인정받아 1987년 그래미 어워드 Record of the Year에 노이네이트 되기도 했으나 아깝게 수상은 실패한다.
*1977년 발표된 조지 벤슨의 오리지널. 무하마드 알리의 삶을 다룬 Tom Greis 감독의 영화 The Greatest의 OST였다.
