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 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 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

Edit: truncated at Alicorn’s suggestion.
I think this is a rare pop song that successfully treats a somewhat abstract idea.
Among others, of course! Benson’s is good, though, and I had not heard it before. Moar George Benson (with the McCoy Tyner trio).
Benson did it first. ;)
