Our best invention, education
Is the greatest thing that builds the nation.
A pathway to our unique success
And a future of freedom I must confess.
To learn and earn all our pleasures
And fill our minds with endless treasure.
With its help we achieve our goals
To live a life as happy souls.
A journey to create our dreams together
No matter how hard the time or weather.
With all our hearts, minds and brains
Let’s build our world even if it rains.
When education is right beside us
Nothing can ever hide or break us.
With a human race so very clever
We’ll cherish education forever and ever.
