I hear the screams saying follow me
Trying to lead me to some hollow things
And misguided ideologies
Worthy of apology
I can't see what's the difference
They all got something missing
Everybody just wanna feel better
Well follow the red letters
Teacher, teach me
I know you can reach me
Say you'll never leave me
Teacher, teach me
You've got that
Shame under your skin
The pain you spent your life
Believing in
Just do right by me and by you I'll do right
Well go down, down in the river tonight
You say you just wanna feel better
Well follow the red letters
Teacher, teach me
I know you can reach me
Say you'll never leave me
Teacher, teach me
Hand at my waist
I am shooting away, ruling the day, standing between my choice and my fate
Threw my cares in the lake
The price I could pay to be something great isn't the sacrifice I need to make
To the boy in the mirror, know your way
Decide your place and go; there's only
So many hours, so many days, so many hours
So many days, many days, many days
To get free
Teacher, teach me
I know you can reach me
Say you'll never leave me
Teacher, teach me
