Teach It Anyway

[Chorus] Teach it anyway, don’t worry what others say Teach it anyway, just teach it anyway (anyway) Raise children to be leaders, and not just the ones that win Teach it anyway, teach it anyway (anyway) [Verse 1] Some say don’t teach your children to show kindness at their school Teach them that and they just wind up bein’ someone else’s fool They’ll be the bully’s target, that is what they’ll say But in your heart you know… teach kindness anyway. (anyway) [Chorus] Teach it anyway, don’t worry what others say Teach it anyway, just teach it anyway (anyway) Raise children to be leaders, and not just the ones that win Teach it anyway, teach it anyway [Verse 2] Some say don’t teach your children to be caring at their school Teach them that and they just wind up bein’ someone else’s fool They’ll be the bully’s target, that is what they’ll say But in your heart you know… teach caring anyway. (anyway) [Bridge] I’ve heard some say, teach hardness to your child Life is win or nothing and everyday’s a trial Life’s a competition you can hear them as they preach Where only winning counts, and all the losers weep But that makes an angry child, angry and alone That makes a bitter child, bitter and alone Angry and alone, bitter and alone When others say don’t teach them kindness, teach them anyway (anyway) [Chorus] Teach it anyway, don’t worry what others say Teach it anyway, just teach it anyway (anyway) Raise children to be leaders, and not just the ones that win Teach it anyway, teach it anyway (anyway)
