Lyrics to "Teacher Thank You"

"Teacher, Thank You" by Julie Ahlborn

 

I know a person who loves me

I know a person who cares

I know someone who works really hard

Helping me to succeed.

(chorus)

Teacher, Thank You

Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for helping me become,

The best that I can be!

Patient and kind, my teacher sees me

Teaching me how to find myself.

Stern but loving, firm but caring

Helping me on my path.

Chorus

Helping me read and write

Add, subtract and do it right!

Fun and silly, laughing with me

Wiping my tears and slaying my fears.

Teacher, Thank You

Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for helping me become,

The best that I can be! Thank You!
