Lyrics Jerry Mills - Teacher

Teacher
The decision of a lifetime, when you decided to teach.
Because you 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...
Chorus:
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 didn't always come easy, there were sacrifices made.
All the hours you spent still working
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!
Chorus: You're a teacher. A Teacher...
So it must have come as one terrible shock When you first heard the news...
The government's low on money so they're cutting back on schools.
And you're sad because it makes no sense
to deny these kids their last defense
from a world in which they're lonely and scared
just a little bit less because you've eared-
Chorus: You're a teacher! A Teacher...
