Captain

CAPTAIN FOR OUR LIVES

Oh our education, the captain of our lives

I plead our education, the captain of our lives

Wrong our education

Wrong captain in the right ship

Where our captain, where are you taking us to?

You are wrong for this ship

Perhaps not enough skilled to navigate it.

 Our ocean is not calm

 It’s full of violence

 Full of tides of the highest height

Storm in it, is the rule of the game.

 The captain does not fit this ship

 He is taking us west instead of our home east

 We plead our master to give us the right captain

 To move us into the right place.

 From the tides of ignorance into the calmness of consciousness.

 From the tides of irresponsibility into the calmness of commitment.

 But is our master real aware of our wrong captain?

 We were all happy and fully relieved

 To hear free education, really we have realized

 It is free, indeed it is free

 Free of knowledge.

  Till when shall we be navigated by this wrong captain?

  Aren’t we really pit for our lives?

  What about the lives of our children in the ship?

  We indeed need the right captain in this right ship.
