Molding Minds – Moving Mountains

To move mountains
We must mold minds.
We must mold the minds
Of people of all kinds.

Those of us who mold
Are those of us who teach.
The minds we mold 
Are the minds we reach.

We try to mold someone
Every day.
We try to show
That knowledge is the way.

We must show that knowledge
Comes from a fountain that flows,
And that the man who moves mountains
Is the man who knows.

A man drinks from this fountain daily
To become mentally strong.
When he feels he can move mountains,
He will not be wrong.

Therefore, we must prove
That knowledge comes from a fountain.
We must mold minds.
We must move mountains.

It's pretty good. I suppose it could be better, but I can't think of how, so it's probably fine as is.
