Education Songtext
von Uwe Banton

When I think about the youth today
I know the children need good education
To give them what they need in life
To cope with ever changing situations

Teach the youth the truth
′Cause that's the only way to build a better nation

And let them make good use of what they learn
For all the coming generations

The only way to guarantee for equal opportunity
Encourage creativity, fulfill responsibility
So let them know their history, their roots and their identity
One God, one name, one destiny
The only way we can be free


′Cause knowledge is power
Pass it on
Every minute, every hour
Pass it on
Give them the right books to devour
Pass it on
So more blessings can shower
Pass it on

Sometimes I cry for all the youth
Because I know that this world is full of temptation

So when you hear these lines I sing
Then you should know I want to change that situation

Encourage man and woman to rise up and work with high determinations
'Cause only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
In this here time of revelations
So give them the teachings of His Majesty
No one devil philosophy
Religion and morality consider right priority
Maths, algebra, biology
Take time and teach them patiently
Like ABC and 123
Let them rise in harmony


'Cause knowledge is power
Pass it on
Every minute, every hour
Pass it on
Give them the right books to devour
Pass it on
So more blessings can shower
Pass it on

Ignorance, illiteracy
No we no want no more
Incapable hypocrisy
Tell me what are you fighting for
Some food to eat, shoes on your feet
Try to fulfill your basic needs
Leak proof rooftop, clothes on their back
No question I will skill for that

Knowledge is power
Pass it on
Every minute, every hour
Pass it on
Give them the right books to devour
Pass it on
So more blessings can shower
Pass it on

Why won′t you pass it on
You got to pass it on
