Raised in this world,
All I have known is class
'Cause that's where my future lays
And all my hopes come to last
When my teacher tells me to write


In the cold mornings,
I journey the darkest Streets,
Climbed the hills,
Cross the rivers,
And travel thru the desert
To come to class
'Cause that's where my future lays

I trust my hands,
Believe my heart,
And know my arms
Will carry the books on my back
As my feet stands on the boots
To reach me to the class
'Cause that's where my future lays

I have succeeded
Because I am educated
All my needs
Are knitted
On my knees
As I pray to my God,
To open my goals.

Knowledge is success
My future is bright because
I have attended the class
As that's where my future lays
