We are always learning, improving, developing

Evolving into something greater than we were

Becoming something better than the world has ever seen

Education is the means by which this takes place 

It's not just book work or scholastic routines

It teaches us to work, to grow, to relate

In America, it's something that we take for granted

Forgetting that not everyone has the opportunities we've been afforded

The world can change as knowledge is gained

Education is the means by which this takes place

School is more than becoming smart and economically successfull

It teaches you how to learn and how to understand the world for yourself

To have your own ideas and opinions

And how to distinguish right from wrong

Education is the means by which this takes place
