Lead me teacher into the arms of knowledge
And I'll gain wisdom along the way
Lead me teacher to the honest pledge
And I'll live upto whatever I will say.
Don't hold my finger only lead me by the hand
Tell me why the rivers flow and why stars are so grand
Only you can lead me to light from darkness
Mould me into a person of morals from a load of mess
Do teach me teacher of the stories of heroes
Do teach me of the place where this Tree of Honesty grows
Why the heroes are only remembered in stories
And why now the theives come from our own academies.
Tell me not only the word but also its meaning
Otherwise without it the word may seem demeaning
If I get distracted I urge you to keep me on track
And then teach what I need to know to complete what I lack.
Above all teach me why there are wars
How is their blood different from mine and yours
Why the people die in the name of God and religion
And what do they prove when they fly the white pigeon.
You are to lead me and I surrender myself to you
Teach me what you can and teach me what is true
I know I won't be able to pay your debt but I'll try
I'll make an honest person of myself so I can meet your eye.
Lead me teacher into the arms of knowledge
And I'll gain wisdom along the way
Lead me teacher to the honest pledge
And I'll live upto whatever I will say.
