The Teacher

Vs 1
Such a beautiful day for startin’ again, the sky was aqua blue.
I’d cast out a demon from within to let the light come shining through.
My love and I had crossed a bridge that I’d kept going around.
With her help and my desire we cast the demon out. Cast the demon out.

Chorus
We are all pupils and teachers lookin’ for the light, that shines out between us through the darkest night.

We are drawn together to help each other learn to live this life.

We come around again and again until we get it right, until we get it right, until we get it right.

Vs 2
People come into our life at the strangest of times.
They seem to know just what we need, what’s goin’ through our minds.
So be honest to yourself and talk with a friend.
Everything we need to know we’ll know in the end, know in the end.

Chorus

Vs 3
Perhaps in a way I have also been a teacher for you.
Shown you through my mistakes what a bad seed can do.
Have I helped you to see through my own pain how precious is this life?
I know I’ve seen it in myself comin’ through your eyes, through your very eyes

Chorus
