What the future would be promising
Imagine if Haile was the teacher and the scriptures were speeches
to prepare them for the journey to begin
A new perspective on history to enlighten the mystery
immediately before it seeps in
An opportunity, for unity
Yes, each one must teach one the neighbour's little yout
Is your son, your daughter, your sister, your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution
Imagine if initiation was a part of the process
to teach the youths dem discipline
imagine how learning would be heightened by a positive example
From the ones to whom the youths dem listening
integrity and humility were a given
the standard by which we'd be living
like one righteous militant community
in unity
Yes, each one must teach one the neighbour's little yout
Is your son, your daughter, your sister, your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution
No need to be specific, there are those who breed hatred
To keep those together apart
But remember that justice is real living Judgement
Like cancer you can plant in your own heart
So when it's hot on the mission, even those who lack vision
Can confidently trust in the youth
If we arm them with the truth
Strong and steady from the root
Yes, each one must teach one the neighbour's little yout
Is your son, your daughter, your sister, your brother
A part of who you must become
In the event, of revolution

The solid basis for all lies in education
It is education, which allows people to live together
And makes them avoid the pitfalls of immorality
And induces respect for the law
Truly, the attainment of these high aims is based on education
The helping of people to live together
To avoid indulgence immorality and lawlessness
To command and to be commanded is the fruit of education
And unity and confidence is the result
Education of the youth is the surest guarantee for a better life
From truth alone are born liberty
And only an educated people can consider itself really free
And master of it's fate
Each one must teach one
