DUTY CALL'S
Arise oh youths, duty call's
You're the future, be ready
The future is now, not tomorrow
Narrow is the road to success
Broad is the road to destruction
Be the change, not the changer
Be the healer, not the killer
Don't just exist and exit
Live, Leave a legacy behind
Parents listen to the children, duty call's
They're your next of kin, pay attention
As you want them to act, act accordingly
They are watching, be their guides
As you lead they follow your guides
As you talk they listen and reason
Bring them up, as you want them to live
Spared the rod, you've spoiled the child.
Wake up leaders of today, duty call's
The future is now, thrive on uncertainty
The next generation are watching your deeds
thriving the paths you're carving for them
What this generation practice for growth
The next generation promotes without hesitating
Bringing to light all dealings of the past.
Pay attention next generation, duty calls
Work with your hands and your tools
Fill your brain before you open your mouth
Intelligence over strength amidst dispute
Make good use of your life don't fit into boxes
People fought for what you're enjoying now
Don't let the labor of past heroes be in vain.
