if us children are not educated right,
this world of ours will not be as bright,
for if you leave our brains to rust,
our earth will turn to dust.

we can be the first to hope and to heal,
we can be the last to suffer and to feel,
pain should not be what we seek,
as pain is what makes us all so bleak.

we go to school every day,
just so we can learn to find a way,
us children will be the ones to practice and preach,
so this is why we need people to tell and teach.
