Lyrics
Before You Teach
I came to teach freedom?s song
I came to teach about love
Teachin? how, we all belong
Instead, here is what I learned
You must touch before you feel
listen before you hear
look before you can see
learn before you teach
You?ve got to crawl before you walk
Stumble before you run
Mumble before you can talk
Tumble before you fly
The people, they don?t wanna hear
The people, they all live in fear
The people, heard it all before
They already know the score
You reach out, to tell them what is true
Listen to me, they do not hear
I came to teach freedom?s song
I came to teach about love
Teachin? how, we all belong
