Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
Chalk dust settled on a wooden floor
Bell rings loud behind the heavy door
Rows of faces waiting for a lesson to begin
Wondering what the world looks like from within
[chorus]
Won't you tell me what it's all about
Won't you help me find my way out
Every answer that they give just leads to one more why
School can teach you numbers but it never taught me why
[verse]
Teacher writes the same old words upon the board
Every student searching for a truth they can't afford
Nobody tells you how to feel or how to grow
Just the facts they hand you, nothing else to know
[chorus]
Won't you tell me what it's all about
Won't you help me find my way out
Every answer that they give just leads to one more why
School can teach you numbers but it never taught me why
[bridge]
Maybe the real lesson waits outside these walls
Maybe wisdom answers different kinds of calls
Someday I'll walk out into the wider day
And find the truth no classroom ever gave away
[chorus]
Won't you tell me what it's all about
Won't you help me find my way out
Every answer that they give just leads to one more why
School can teach you numbers but it never taught me why
