EDUCATION OF THE YOUNG
Education is a powerful weapon
Where to start
You open your eyes
I whisper to you
I show you all
The world has to offer
The bird that sings
His song for you
The sun rising in the morning
I introduce you to the world
We walk
We talk
I cherish your every day
Soon enough you will learn
To read
You will learn all the names
Of the ten thousand things
You will learn the language
Of the wild things
In the late afternoon
You will learn all
About sunsets
And you will learn
All the names of the stars
Which come out at night
You will talk with the moon
Your days will be filled
With learning
It will be your weapon
You will use to change the world
