First I was afraid
I was petrified.
Kept thinking I could never teach
´Cause I´m not certified.
But we spent so many nights
Reteaching homework that was wrong.
I grew strong, so now I teach my kids at home!
We study maths and outer space.
I just kept on despite the fear with a big smile across my face.
I bought a set of Base Ten blocks.
I bought books with answer keys.
My parents think we´re nuts, but they don´t even bother me

Come on, let´s go walk out the door.
We´re on the road now, ’cause we´re not home much anymore
My friends would laugh and say we´d be unsocialized.
I heard one mumble that I´d give up by July.
Oh no, not I!
I will survive!
As long as I know how to read
I know we´ll be alright.
I’ve got all my life to learn.
I’ve got energy to burn.
and I’ll survive.
I will survive.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
Decided to attend a play date at the local park,
and I met oh so many mums who offered eagerly to help.
They used to cry.
Now they hold their heads up high, and so do we!
My kids are cool!
They´re not those chained up little people stuck inside at school.
So if you feel like dropping by and just expect us to be free
you´d better call ahead first ´cause we´re probably busy!
