Great Teachers Walk Like Poets

[Intro] Slow breath in Slow breath out Ancient river In a gentle mouth [Verse 1] Some men speak in sculptures They carve their days in time Every small gesture A lantern in the night They walk through storms like scented gardens Feet bare on broken stone Turning every wound Into a way back home [Chorus] Great teachers walk like poets Writing truth with every step Their lives become the lesson Every moment Every breath They show a human heart Can be a work of art Great teachers walk like poets And teach us how to start [Verse 2] He pours his tea in silence Lets the steam explain How to rise from nothing Then soften into rain He listens more than answers Eyes kind A little tired Makes room inside his presence For all that we have struggled with. [Chorus] Great teachers walk like poets Writing truth with every step Their lives become the lesson Every moment Every breath They show a human heart Can be a work of art Great teachers walk like poets And teach us how to start [Bridge] He says “Shape your day Like clay between your hands” He says “Let your kindness Go farther than your plans” He says “Leave the door A little open in your chest” So strangers Friends and loved ones Can find the way into your heart. [Chorus] Great teachers walk like poets Writing truth with every step Their lives become the lesson Every moment Every breath They show a human heart Can be a work of art Great teachers walk like poets And teach us how to start
