Lend me your children
And I’ll create a nation
Different and diverse
Engineers and teachers
Artists and innovators
Who love what they do
Show them possibility
Expose them to many a path
Encourage a pursuit of passion
Let them fail
Let them fall
Teach them to rise again
To do it for themselves
Shine at their pride
Of achieving their goal
Guide them, but don’t take over
Let them be who they are meant
Lend me your children
And I’ll return functioning individuals
Who will build our nation
Create a better place
Be a safer space
