Yo La Tengo - The Lie And How We Told It lyrics

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 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 shadow

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 shadow

If I fail, if I succeed,

at least I 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

And if by chance that special place

that you've been dreaming of

Leads you to a lonely place

Find your strength in love
