Song Title: Teacher's Smile 
Lyrics written by S. Katz copyright 2014, music provided by Coursera Pat Pattison

My school starts 
When students meet
A class 
Needs to greet you
“Hello, hi”, 
Teacher, you appear
Steering orders
Help me row, be supportive	
Will you be tough?
In this sea 
of fine information
Help me, I’m human.
One human

Chorus:
I believe I’ll achieve
Teacher, when you smile
Such help gives health
To my grades, 
My guide,
My guide.

Pursue exams hard, 
Attend, clenched teeth,
A pass? 
Dream, believe, true!
Electrified, why? 
Mentor, be sincere!
My grade, it grows,
Knowledge knows, be attentive,
I am in awe!
I’m eager, 
‘cause your smile’s outspoken
I’m just a student
One student

Bridge:
If I fail to sail the essay
If I make some mistakes
If I’m drowned and overloaded
Will you understand, 
Help me navigate?

Chorus (repeat)

Verse:
Conclude, worked hard
School’s end, I’m free,
Raise hands,
Released, I’ll leave soon,
Wave, “goodbye”
Coach, your smiling tear!
Eyes, so rewarding
Helped me glow, you’ve invested
My brain has jogged
I’ve achieved, 
Hawaii’s where I’ll swim
Thanks mentor, my friend
One friend

Chorus (repeat)

Outro:
Teacher’s smile
When you smile
Teacher’s smile
Teacher’s smile
