Everything that we dream can come true
if we do what we try-you and I.
Together we can do much more,
when we could ever do alone.
We can make our planet green,
make our water fresh and clean.
Oh, ee-bu, ee-bu, ee-bu,
We all can rise –better city better life.
Teaching our children every day and they’ll find a better way.
Education is the key to help us learn from history.
Oh,ee-bu,ee-bu,ee-bu,
we all can rise-better city better life.
Oh,ee-bu,ee-bu,ee-bu-bu-bu,
ee-bu,ee-bu,ee-bu-bu-bu.
Teaching our children every day and they’ll find a better way.
Education is the key to help us learn from history.

Gonna heal the world together.
Ala nong, nong, nong-better life.
