    Lyrics   

         

     

    SDG 4

     

     

                        

    I used to think I was like others

    But I was wrong with myself

    Whenever there is no one by my side

    I have no one as my guide

    music is much more than just singing

    it brings us together, helps bonding

    Music makes us develop many capabilities

    It also teaches abilities

     

    Refrain:

    Music is much more than just singing

    So let’s start beginning 
    let’s put education on the agenda

    Teach children no matter which gender

     

    I can‘t go on with this continues vacation

    because I need a good education

    I want to be prepared

    For a bright future

    if only knowledge could be shared

    like working on a computer

    I desire to learn new things

    and the spirit in me sings            

     

    Refrain

    I wish I might have a place where I could learn

     because I feel my heart burn

    I'm not always fine, but it doesnt matter

    with studying I get better

     

    [refrain]

     

    reading, writing, arithmetics,

    what do they mean the three R's ?

    without them I'm an alien in this world,

    s-o-m-e-o-n-e from mars.

    Let me be one of you

    who can learn and find delight in music too!

     

    [ refrain]

     

     

     Second version of the song, slightly altered:

         

    I used to think I was like others

    But I was wrong with myself

    Try to find someone to be by my side

    I have noone to be my guide

    Even crossing through my family 

    Taking love from those I love 

    I don't know about my happiness 

    No words to show my loneliness

     

    Refrain:

    I can‘t go on with this vacation

    because I need an education

    I want to be prepared

    If I want to be declared 

    I desire to learn new things

    and the spirit in me sings    [x2]        

     

    reading, writing, arithmetic

    what do they mean the three Rs? 

    Without them I'm an alien in this world,

    someone from Mars

    Let me be one of you 

    Who can learn and find delight in music too

     

    Refrain:

    I can‘t go on with this vacation

    because I need an education

    I want to be prepared

    If I want to be declared 

    I desire to learn new things

    and the spirit in me sings
