doors
of
knowledge,
And
give
us
what
we
need.

Verse 2]**
A
teacher
is
a
builder,
A
teacher
is
a
guide,
A
teacher
plants
the
future
Deep
inside
a
child.
Mumaphunzitsa
kulemba,
Mumaphunzitsa
kuwerenga,
Mumaphunzitsa
chikondi,
Ndi
kulemekeza
anzathu.
But
when
teachers
are
too
few,
The
children
lose
their
way, **
That
is
why
we
need
more
teachers,
Today
and
every
day!** **
Mphunzitsi
