Verse One
The morning bell begins to ring, Another dream prepares to sing. A teacher walks with humble grace, Carrying hope from place to place.
Not with riches, Not with fame, But with a heart that lights the flame.
A lesson taught with love today, Can change a nation on another day.
Wisdom
"Knowledge is a seed; when planted with love, it grows into a forest that shelters generations."
Pre-Chorus
Oh Zambia... Rise with education...
Oh children... Walk with determination...
Aaaaah... Aaaaah... Iiiih... Iiiih...
Ntililililili... Ntilililili...
(Leave only piano and log drum for eight bars.)
Chorus
Teacher... You build tomorrow...
Teacher... You give us hope...
Every child you encourage, Carries tomorrow in their hands.
God bless every teacher, From every village, Every town, Every province, Across Zambia.

Verse Two
You teach us numbers, You teach us words, You teach us courage, To keep our promises heard.
When we stumble, You lift us high.
When we doubt, You remind us why.
You teach that honesty Outlives wealth.
You teach that character Is greater than success.
Wisdom
"Education opens doors, but good character decides which doors remain open."

Verse Three
No mountain is climbed in one step.
No river is crossed in one jump.
A teacher reminds every learner,
"Keep moving... Keep believing... Keep learning..."
Because...
Small lessons become great wisdom.
Small dreams become great visions.
Small children become great leaders.
Bridge
Listen...
The classroom is where tomorrow is written.
The chalk is small...
But it writes the future.
The book is light...
But it carries the weight of a nation.
The teacher stands before a class...
Yet shapes generations.

Verse Four
Let every learner remember,
Respect your teacher.
Protect your school.
Value your education.
Because...
The strongest bridge Is built one stone at a time.
The strongest nation Is built one learner at a time.
The greatest victory Begins with one lesson understood.
Final Chorus
Teacher...
Today we celebrate you.
Teacher...
Today we honour you.
May God strengthen your hands.
May He bless your families.
May He reward your sacrifice.
Today we proudly recognise...
Mr Muzingwani...
Mr Inyambo...
Mr Choonga...
Mr Siatembo...
Mr Nyambe...
Mr Hankombo...
And every hardworking teacher across Zambia...
Your labour is never in vain.
