Why should our children not know
How to be somebody.
Slaves hid in closets and
Learned to read and write.

Why should our children not know
How to be somebody.
Attention Deficit Disorder is no reason
Not to learn to read and write.

Why should our children not know
How to be somebody.
Study a little harder and
Learn to read and write.

Why should our children not know
How to be somebody.
I studied the best I could with ADD,
Learning to read and write.

Why should our children not know
How to be somebody.
Mr. President, encourage my child to
Learn to read and write.
