Teach Like Your Hair Is On Fire

Ein Gedicht von Cecilia Cadman

Teach like your hair is on fire
Teach like a live wire

Teach till you can’t stop
Till your arms drop
Teach with your whole soul
Don’t go halves go whole

Cos what’s the point of preaching
if our passion is not reaching those who need?

Feed on your own fire
Teach like a live wire

To educate
We need to define, to debate what it means to learn
What it means to yearn

Cos what’s the point of preaching
If your passion is not reaching those who need
To feed
On your fire?

Teach like your hair’s on fire
Teach like a live wire

Energise your words and maximise their meaning
Jump with both feet forward
Sing with power and with feeling

This is what we’re all about
This is what we’re out to shout about to all the doubters

Cos what’s the point of preaching
If our passion is not reaching
Those who need it most?
