Teacher Song: I'm a Teacher

I'M A TEACHER
(Music and Lyrics: Dioscoro B. Vicentino, DECS XI, Davao City)

I'm a teacher, a purveyor of truth and light
I'm 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 thoughts, words and deeds, be so good.

In the children I write the future
In their learning I find great joy;
I may never sit on a throne
But I'm contented, my life is full.

Yes, I'm a teacher, I must brave all the roaring waves
And the fury of the rivers and windy seas;
I must climb on up the mountains and hills
Where children there wait for my love and care.

In a mountain or in a city
On an island where I may be
I shall keep on bringing the light
and live as teacher until I die.

I'll live as teacher until I die.
