Teacher Don\'t Poison My Mind

Western springs are sweet

Their deep fountains revives the soul

To dig and drink from these Wells

All magic carpets in the shelves to grasp

 

Teacher uncover these mysteries to me

Do it with a tender heart of wisdom

My mind to learn these explorations

Teacher Don\'t Poison My Mind

 

Plant these seeds in me, wisdom to abound

Water them with love, to give me more appetite

To deep drink them again, up to the brim

Fountains break loose, to unleash life

 

To make aeroplane and be a pilot

A syringe and be a doctor

A pen and be a teacher

Teacher show me pillows of knowledge

 

A shell has broken, life begins

Ignorance is dead, mind to learn

To sweep our streets clean , knowledge demands

These magic carpets to carry me around

 

From their cisterns, these springs flow

To fill my heart, up to the very brim

Thanks teacher for your patience

For your lips , are canopies of wisdom.
