what's real and true of all the stuff we learn
throughout each life is given extra sheen
by honest labour it will never burn
the deeper vision that permits a turn
towards an understanding of the seen
what's real and true of all the stuff we learn
both in and out of school is the concern
for honest dealing which becomes so keen
by honest labour it will never burn
our hands but lead us rather to discern
the better way by which to intervene
what's real and true of all the stuff we learn
reminds us of the need for what we earn
not just for us but those in the machine
by honest labour it will never burn
the ones who cry and those who only yearn
for what is not and what has never been
what's real and true of all the stuff we learn
by honest labour it will never burn
