[intro]
[verse]
In a classroom facing sunrise bright
Chalk dust dancing in the light
Pages turning hearts take flight
Questions burning day and night
Not just numbers not just signs
Seeking codes behind our minds
We're not waiting for the time
We are shaping what's divine
[pre-chorus]
From silent screens to human schemes
We learn the why behind the scenes
Every choice a moral voice
The future calls us to rejoice
[chorus]
Forty-eight books for the days ahead
Written with hope in every thread
Teaching us truth lighting the way
Where human and machine won't stray
We don't fear the answers we're fed
We ask new questions in their stead
Forty-eight books for the days ahead
Teaching us how to think and spread
[verse]
In the language stars align
Math unfolds the ocean's rhyme
In the stories we define
Ethics shape our grand design
AI won't rule or hide in shade
It reflects the choice we've made
Mirror of the paths we've laid
Tool to lift not just degrade
[pre-chorus]
We learn to build we learn to doubt
To guard the lines we carve throughout
What can be done with all we've got
And what should be in every thought
