Teach me to be strong to stand up for the weak
For those without a voice, teach me how to speak
Teach me to forgive and how to give a damn
Teach me how to lay down like the lion with the lamb

Teach me how to pray
To heavens up above
Teach me how to love

I've got so much to learn 
Even when it hurts

Teach me how to smile when I'm sitting on a frown
To lift somebody up when the world has kicked them down
Teach me to be humble, to push aside my pride
Teach me to be thankful for every tear I've cried

When my heart has all but given up
Teach me how to love

I've got so much to learn, yeah
Even when it hurts, teach me how to love

Oh teach me, oh teach me

When I'm losing faith, teach me to believe
Teach me how to give, teach me to receive

I've got so much to learn, yeah
Even when it hurts, teach me how to love
I've got so much to learn

Teach me to be strong, to stand up for the weak
For those without a voice, teach me how to speak
Teach me to forgive and how to give a damn
Teach me how to lay down like the lion with the lamb

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Won't You teach me to be humble
To be thankful for every tear I've cried

Whoa, teach me...
