It was later in your lifetime that you decided to teach...
Because you’d learned from your experiences
that you cared enough to reach...
With outstretched arms and an open mind
the wonders you believed you’d find
in the warm glow of a kid’s young heart
whose trust you’d earned since the school year’s start...
Cuz you’re a teacher! A Teacher!
A beseecher, not a preacher!
You’re a reacher for the stars
to share with kids no matter who they are!
You’re a teacher! A Teacher!
You love the job you do!
And if this world needs something real bad right now
it’s teachers like you!
The good times never came easy,
there were sacrifices made...
All the hours you spent still workin
while some others ran off and played.
But your students played with new delight
and rested better through the night,
Because tomorrow in school they wouldn’t be scared
cuz they knew they had a teacher who cared!
You’re a teacher! A Teacher!
A beseecher, not a preacher!
You’re a reacher for the stars
to share with kids no matter who they are!
You’re a teacher! A Teacher
You love the job you do!
And if this world needs something real bad right now
it’s teachers like you!
If these kids need something real bad right now
it’s teachers like you!
Teacher
