Education Is the Liberator From Poverty

Education you 're the champion of the poor 
You're a roof under which people who love you shelter 
You open the eyes of the ignorant, so that their ignorance is no more 
You're a pot of those who loves to cook their brains into perfection 
So that their brains can be perfected to think like you 
So that they can learn to negotiate the hazards of life and fend for themselves 

Education, you provide shelter, clothes and transport to those who worship you 
You are the king of those who adores you 

Education, you are the conqueror 
You've conquered poverty 
Poverty says brother to you 
You sent poverty to an early rotten grave 
Poverty has gone to an early grave because of you
Run poverty run!
Your brother education is here! 

Darkness and light do not share cigarette 
As success and poverty 
Education, no one is like you 
Indeed you're  the Kilimanjaro Mountain 
You're like an elephant 

You're a well of wisdom and success 
Those who worship you will walk tall and proud of their success
