Teacher Oh Teacher, teach me how to read
So that I can explore the secrets far beyond
Teacher Oh Teacher, teach me how to write
So that I can say my words with a little bite
Teacher Oh Teacher, teach me how to sing
So that I can spread the joy that life can bring
Teacher Oh Teacher, teach me how to plan
So that I can convince myself to say I can
Teacher Oh Teacher, teach me how to pray
So that I can find solace if I’ve gone astray
Teacher Oh Teacher, teach me how to live
So that I can cope with dreams I can’t achieve
Teacher Oh Teacher, teach me how to die
So that I can pass this life and into Paradise
