Learn to teach

And teach to learn

Open your eyes

Knowledge returns

Pass on the word

The modern virus

Spread it through the crowd

Watch it grow

Your mother taught you

How to sing a song

Your father showed you

How to tie a knot

Will you teach your kids

In the same way

Coming generations

Will they play this game

What makes us different

Like no other

Is that we can listen

Learn from our father

Mistakes that were made

We don't have to repeat

We've been given a choice

If we care to believe

Every single teacher

Has been taught herself

She takes this information

And feeds the new machine

Once there were wise men

Who told a story

Current tales spread on a web

And rumours fuel the pages

What makes us different

Like no other

Is that we can listen

Learn from our father

Mistakes that were made

We don't have to repeat

We've been given a choice

If we care to believe

What makes us different

Like no other

Is that we can listen

Learn from our father

Mistakes that were made

We don't have to repeat

We've been given a choice

If we care to believe
