[VERSE 2 – ENGLISH] Teachers,
you
wake
up
early,
You
prepare
another
day,
You
enter
every
classroom,
And
you
show
the
learners
the
way.
You
teach
with
love
and
patience,
You
encourage
every
child,
You
help
them
face
tomorrow,
You
help
them
walk
with
pride.
You
correct
their
mistakes,
You
celebrate
their
success,
You
give
them
hope
and
knowledge,
You
always
give
your
best.
From
the
classroom
to
the
community,
Your
work
can
never
be
ignored,
You
are
shaping
young
Zambians,
You
are
building
our
future.
So
Rufunsa,
raise
your
hands!
Let
the
whole
district
hear!
Teachers,

appreciate
you!
