[Verse 1] Before you tell me where you stand, Put a starting mark upon the land. Call it zero, choose your way: Right is positive! we’ll say. [Chorus] Pick a zero, name a direction, Give your position a clear connection. A number, a unit, compared with where? Now somebody else can find you there! [Verse 2] Four meters right of the classroom door— That tells me something I can explore. Four meters leaves a question to ask: Four meters from what? Finish the task! [Bridge] A different zero can change your number; It doesn’t move you while you slumber! Same place, different measuring plan— Name your reference whenever you can! [Final Chorus] Pick a zero, name a direction, Give your position a clear connection. A number, a unit, compared with where? Now somebody else can find you there!
