Lyrics
I used to play the piano Born and raised every day to entertain I was a wild and lively child And those sparkles in my eyes still remain

I know there’s more to learn I know there’s more to be As all the rays of the sun shine beyond the sea Every moment with the intent to find enlightenment

Now I’m a teacher and everyday, I inspire all my girls to challenge everything I say To blaze the trail in their own way ‘Cause with their minds they’ll push us into better times

They know there’s more to learn They know there’s more to be With restlessness, they’ll repress idle company Every moment with the intent to find enlightenment

Brilliance lights the path ahead Every lesson, every hymn, every single word I’ve said Keeps the road burning bright Through the shadows, towards the light Those searching for simplicity Will never write a page of history

There’s so much more to learn There’s so much more to be Always shine to redefine our humanity Every moment, we feel descent We’ll fight the night before the falling of sunset And every morning Awake with the intent to find Enlightenment
