I’M A TEACHER

Music & Lyrics- Dioscoro B. Vicentino

Declared by: Sec. Ricardo T. Gloria

I am a teacher, a purveyor of truth and light

I am a teacher, I was born to improve mankind

It’s my duty to enlighten the world

And guide the young to the path of the Lord

I’m a teacher, I must teach what is good and right

I’m a teacher, I must live what I preach in life

As a model citizen of the world

I must in thought, words and deeds be so good

In the children I write the future

In the learning I find great joy

I may never sit on the throne

But I’m converted, my life as full

Yes I’m teacher, I must brave all the roaring waves

And the fury of the rivers and every seas

I must climb on up the mountains and hills

Where the children there wait for my love and care
