I heard great story recently
And I love telling it
Of a little girl who was in a drawing lesson
And she was six
And she was at the back drawing
And the teacher said this little girl hardly ever paid attention
But in this drawing lesson she did
And err the teach was fascinated
And she went over to her and she said
What are you drawing
And the girl said I′m drawing a picture of God
And the teach said
But nobody knows what God looks like
And the girl said
They will in a minute
And
I want to talk about education
And I want to talk about creativity


My contention is creativity now
Is as important in education as literacy

And we should treat it with the same status
Treat it with the same status

Treat it with the same status
Treat it with the same status

My contention is that creativity now
Is as important in education as literacy
And we should treat it with the same status

Yeah

My contention is that creativity now
Is as important in education as literacy
And we could treat it with the same status


Status no hiatus
The change needs to happen now
Don't debate us
If debate us means
Brain washing the masses how
Courages of the media
To monopolise what they feed to ya
To keep the status quo and the fattest cats in charge
They convince us all to self sabotage

My contention is that creativity now
Is as important in education as literacy
And we could treat it with the same status
My contention is that creativity now
Is as important in education as literacy
And we could treat it with the same status

Status
For the Greatest cause
No need to pause or give us applause
Shift your mindset for the best application
For the future we provide for the next generation
Shouldn′t stick to bad methods just because they feel medicinal
You're never gonna move ahead sticking with traditional
Open your eyes
Open your minds
For a new world order who won't leave us behind

I heard great story recently
And I love telling it
Of a little girl who was in a drawing lesson
And she was six
And the teacher said this little girl hardly ever paid attention
But in this drawing lesson she did

What are you drawing

And the girl said I′m drawing a picture of God
And the teach said
But nobody knows what God looks like
And the girl said
They will in a minute
