Some people see but don’t think.
Without knowledge, it makes their mind shrink.
A lot of people are on the street and unemployed
but could have had a job or career they enjoyed.

Education is the key of power.
If you carry it, you can be in the system
and work hard to the beat of the rhythm.
Listen to the goal you left behind,
because only you can control your destiny.
Start over – make a resurrection,
let others see that you can think.
