To me teaching is inspiring
To me teaching is leading
How many can say that they

You listen and you learn
and you search and you earn
your right to gain what you didn't have before.
If understanding your mind is what it takes
to be safe and sound
I'll do it.
Expanding our knowledge
Day after day
Questons of the youth arise
"why am I here?"
"I swear I heard this last year."
Repetion begins and creativitiy fades
"I want to be more than him
