What is the name of the song that has the line "I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way."? Where can I get the lyrics for the song?

I think it's called "The Greatest Love" or "The Greatest Love of All" or something like that. The only version I know of is by Whitney Houston.

Hi,

It was written (I think).. or at least performed first by George Benson.... a search for either him or whitney, should get you to the lyircs eventually.......

If my increasingly faulty memory serves me at all, this song was the theme song from a mid-70's movie about Muhammed Ali ("The Greatest" perhaps?).

In addition to George & Whitney, there is also an hysteric 50's-rock styled version by a band called Big Daddy on their cd "Cutting Their Own Groove" on Rhino (R2 70733). Definitely off the beaten path, but perhaps that's how the cat got muddy in the first place.

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's searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone to fulfill me needs A lonely place to be "Til I learned to depend on me I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow If I fail, if I succeed, at least I'll love 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 gratest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all inside of me

So if by chance that special place That you've been dreaming of Leads you to a lonely place Find your strength in love
