Through the jungle of darkness
Path is set on blazing fire
Darkening mist of unknown fills the air
Lost in the middle of nowhere
Seeking shades under murky clouds
We run in circles panting for breaths
Following the lighted trees
We still see hope flickering
One step we take to open our sleepy eyes
Education flies free spreading its wings
A trail it leads us to live our dreams
Education makes our way to success
Only we need to pick up the pieces
Let heart be free and mind be amazed
As we create our own destiny to be free
In a list
