Life Is Your Classroom (2014)

Life Is Your Classroom

by Bud Lemire on Jan 5, 2014

Life Is your class room, even when it's cold

You learn every day, while you're growing old

Even when it's sunny and hot outside your door

You take in what you learn like never before

You attend every day, no matter the weather

A solo class, or one where you're together

No matter how many, no matter the place

You learn from the lessons that you have to face

A lesson hard learned, is a lesson in grief

Until you rise higher in a sigh of relief

You come to believe the possibilities are there

To rise above the pain and go anywhere

Learning new things in every day

Molding your life as if it were clay

Some things you learn don't sink right in

Only when they do, do the lessons begin

You learn from others, they learn from you

Teachers and students, with knowledge anew

You never know who will come along

A lesson you learn may come in a song

Experiences are lessons taught as you go

Especially when it touches your heart and your soul

You think it's school that teaches you it all

But that's just a study place behind the wall

It's after school where your greatest lesson will be

When your life takes you ahead to your destiny

It's what you are learning you never assume

Because in this world, life is your classroom
