Everything I know, I've lived it
_____
I shouted my dreams to the stars
_____
I sang like nobody else
_____
But for smiles on my street
_____
I told myself stories
_____
I turned them into songs for you
_____
That say the heart is right
_____
To hold on to nothing but hope
_____
My school has no hallway
_____
I didn't have another teacher
_____
But that's where I learned it all
_____
They gave me values
_____
I was maybe a little dreamer
_____
I must've even done some dumb sh*t
_____
But I've always been on time
_____
At the first ray of sun
_____
I rushed off to join my class
_____
Set in the very heart of a square
_____
Right up to the end of sleepless nights
We had only one assignment
_____
Forever believe in love
_____
And what's beautiful in the story
_____
Is we learn something every day
_____
I'm still learning every day
_____
I didn't have another teacher
_____
But that's where I learned it all
_____
They gave me values
_____
I was maybe a little dreamer
_____
I must've even done some dumb sh*t
_____
But I've always been on time
_____
She's the one who taught me everything
_____
She's the one who taught me everything
_____
My kids will read in the books
_____
What I sometimes lack
_____
Then I'll tell them that being free
Is starting over from scratch
_____
Is starting over from scratch
_____
Oooooh-oooh, the school of life
_____
I didn't have another teacher
_____
But that's where I learned it all
_____
They gave me values
_____
I was maybe a little dreamer
_____
I must've even done some dumb sh*t
_____
But I've always been on time
