Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Before the sun cuts through the smoky haze,
Chalk on fingers, hands that mend and raise.
A salary pinned beneath a worn-out shirt,
But inside, fierceness swells, it won’t divert.
Empty lunchbox, yet eyes wide with dreams,
Each lesson sown is stronger than it seems.
[Pre-Chorus]
Aristotle’s shadows flicker on the slate,
But thoughts alone can’t navigate this fate.
When a child falters down a jagged road,
The fault’s not theirs, but in the heavy load.
[Chorus]
We light the lanterns as dusk spills low,
Flickering flames in the undertow.
From village roots to city streets wide,
We plant tomorrow where hope won’t hide.
Through cracked sidewalks, the long haul calls,
In every heart, a story enthralls.
No minted coin, no shimmering show,
Just the quiet strength that teachers know.
[Verse 2]
Ink-stained pages, edges frayed and worn,
Crafting futures in the spaces torn.
Not mere facts, but wings for the mind,
Gardening growth of a different kind.
Whispered chants from ancestors near,
Their steady voices always clear.
[Pre-Chorus]
Families clash, the cycle spins anew,
But lost in conflict, fresh dreams break through.
Comenius steps across the years,
His torch passed softly through our fears.
[Chorus]
We light the lanterns as dusk spills low,
Flickering flames in the undertow.
From village roots to city streets wide,
We plant tomorrow where hope won’t hide.
Through cracked sidewalks, the long haul calls,
In every heart, a story enthralls.
No minted coin, no shimmering show,
Just the quiet strength that teachers know.
[Bridge]
No bribes stain these halls, no shadows cast,
Just faces brightened by lessons that last.
Like Pestalozzi once held the flame,
We stand our ground, we stake our claim.
Youthful sparks that swell to roaring guides,
Behind each desk, the future hides.
[Chorus]
We light the lanterns as dusk spills low,
Flickering flames in the undertow.
From village roots to city streets wide,
We plant tomorrow where hope won’t hide.
Through cracked sidewalks, the long haul calls,
In every heart, a story enthralls.
No minted coin, no shimmering show,
Just the quiet strength that teachers know.
[Outro]
Here’s to palms rough with chalk and care,
Fingers tracing futures in the air.
Vicky Go-getter’s gentle praise,
Teachers hold the world in their gaze.
