Thank you, Dear Teachers

lyrics by Alicia M. Advincula
If I tell a joke, you’ve
probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a
wonderful thing
that my teachers discovered
when I started to learn.
I’m so grateful and proud.
All I want is to praise them
out loud.
So I say…
Refrain
Thank you for your guidance,
the things we’re learning
Thanks for all the joy
you’re bringing.
How can we keep going, we
ask in all honesty.
What would life be?
If we had not learned from
you, what are we?
So we say thank you for the
knowledge,
for giving hope to us.
I was then facing a blank
wall, confused and afraid.
There was nothing I knew and
my mind was so hazy and blank.
Then I started to wonder,
how did it all start?
Who found out my talent and
filled me within?
They’re my teachers, of
course.
And I’ll always be grateful
to them.
So I say…
(Repeat refrain)
I’ve been so lucky, I have
my teachers when I need them.
I wanna sing it out to
everybody.
What a joy, what a life,
what a chance! Yeah!
(Repeat refrain)
So we say thank you for the
knowledge,
for giving hope to us…
