Story behind the song
Just a story about the Wonderful Job that Teachers do for our kids AND Society
Lyrics
BILLY’S MOM IS HOOKED ON DRUGS
AND SUE’S DAD JUST WENT TO JAIL
THEY HAVE NO MONEY FOR FOOD
AND THEY CAN’T POST ANY BAIL
THEY HAVE NO WATER OR POWER
AND THE RENT IS OVERDUE
AND ALL POOR BILLY’S GOT
IS THE SMILE HE GETS FROM YOU
I AM A TEACHER
AND I LEARNED THIS TODAY AT SCHOOL
I LEARNED THAT THERE IS WHOLE LOT MORE
THAN JUST THE GOLDEN RULE
THERE’S HAPPINESS AND TRAGEDY
THERE’S HOPE AND THERE’S DESPAIR
AND THE CHILDREN NEED TO KNOW
THERE’S SOMEONE HERE WHO’LL CARE
TEACHING IS SO MUCH MORE
THAN JUST THE LESSON OF THE DAY
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE TO TEACHING
THAN WHAT I DO OR SAY
I HAVE TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND
PUT SOME REASON TO THEIR LIVES
AND GET THEM PAST LIFE’S OBSTACLES
SO THEY CAN SURVIVE
(CHORUS)
DAY AFTER DAY YEAR AFTER YEAR
I KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I’M HERE
AND WHAT I’M FIGHTING FOR
JENNY DIDN’T EAT LAST NIGHT
SO HER BROTHER COULD
JIM CAN’T READ OR WRITE
BUT HE RULES HIS NEIGHBORHOOD
TOMMY’S PARENTS FIGHT ALL NIGHT
AND HE WORRIES ALL THE TIME
THAT HIS DAD WILL HURT IS MOM HONE DAY
HE IS SCARED ALL THE TIME
