Why is there darkness all around?
Why with numbness am I bound?
O gloom! How savage is your presence!
Why is there guile and no innocence?
My soul yearns for light.
Oh Lord! Let my soul burn bright.
Give unto me knowledge, wisdom, and a goal.
Light a flame, illuminate my soul.
"Divine Being!" said the Father.
"Education is the fire
that takes you higher.
Teacher is the being
who illuminates your being."
