No one really knows for sure / Where their influence ends / Words they speak tomorrow / Can make all the difference / We need to teach the children / How to work with each other / How to trust one another / To see the good (all around) And this is our legacy / The main thing that removes us from the rest / And we will do our best CHORUS: We touch the future / We shape the world / Erase intolerance, indifference / Keep them at bay / We paint tomorrow / No fear we see / For we are teachers / We’ll show the way No one really knows for sure / How a lesson takes wing / Something that makes our calling / Both scary and rewarding / We need to teach the children / How to know wrong from right / How to stand in the light / To see the good (all around) And this is our legacy / The main thing that removes us from the rest / We’ll strive to do our best CHORUS If we are lucky / One child will come to thank us / That our lessons, they will tell us / Helped the most to make them who they are today / To them I will say: I touched the future / I shaped the world / Erased intolerance, indifference / Kept them at bay / Painted tomorrow / Still see no fear / I am a teacher… We touch the future / We shape the world / Erase intolerance, indifference / Keep them at bay / We paint tomorrow / No fear we see / For we are teachers / I am a teacher / For we are teachers / We’ll show the way / I’ll show the way / We’ll show the way

There’s a girl at home / I love her more than words can know / I love the way that she / Is happy just to be / In the loving arms / Of mom and dad! Since we brought you home / You’ve helped to make this house a home / You’re growing everyday / And I love to watch the way / You’re learning and / You’re always glad And you sing your song / You dance your dance / And you look at me / With your loving glance / And the only thing / That I can see / Is that I’m glad you’re mine / I love you, V… You’re my daughter / And I love to / Spend my time with you / Like I ought to / To watch you learn / To watch you grow / To hear your laughter / And I know / You’re my daughter / And I love you / To watch you smile / When you want to / It warms my heart to know / That I’m your father / You’re my daughter V, you’re smart you know! / You’re caring and you want to know / You’re learning everyday / And I’m sure you’ll find the way / To find out all to know / But I want you to know You’re my daughter… / To watch you learn / To watch you grow / To hear your laughter / And I know / You’re my daughter… / And it warms my heart to know / That I’m your father, / You’re my daughter At the end of the day / You greet me in your way / With a smile and a hug / I know that I am loved / And I can’t wait to see / What you’ll grow up to be / But let’s not rush this time / I’m happy that you’re mine! You’re my daughter / And I love to / Spend my time with you / Like I ought to / To watch you learn / To watch you grow / To hear your laughter You’re my daughter / And I love to / Spend my time with you / Like I ought to / To watch you learn / To watch you grow / To hear your laughter / And I know / You’re my daughter / And I love you / To watch you smile / When you want to / It warms my heart to know / That I’m your father / Véronique…you’re my daughter
