lyrics

When we have our babies,
We’re full of hope that they’ll be
Part of a world that’s wonderful
For boys and for girls.
We want them to grow up to be
Productive members of society.
We know with education
They can change the world and the nation.

After three short years
We bring them to you, sometimes with tears.
We try to walk out fast, then we look through the glass
And they’re playing happily.
We give them to you everyday.
You teach them and hear what they have to say.
Whether they're big or small, it’s so in-cred-ible;
Your love will lead the way.

We appreciate all that you do,
And that is why I wrote this song for you —
Leaders in education
Changing the world and changing the nation.

One love, one child
My child, your child.
A father’s heart alone is not enough.
No, no a mother’s heart alone is not enough.
Kids also need, they need a teacher’s heart!
Together, we can lift them up!
Together, we can lift them up!

When they graduate
We feel so proud, but our hearts still break
Just a little bit.
They were just little kids, only yesterday
You taught them to have what they need
To face a challenge and to succeed.
With their own voice they’ll make a choice
To follow or to lead.

We appreciate all that you do,
And that is why I wrote this song for you —
Leaders in education
Changing the world and changing the nation.
