Look up and see, see the sun shine

Over the mountains, over the ocean

Beyond the far and distant horizon

There are places, waiting to be seen.

Look straight ahead right in front of you

So many things which need to be explored.

Distant lands on distant places

A world of people right outside your door.

Chorus:

We hold a key that unlocks the door of knowledge

To reveal our Earth’s story through they eyes of geography

We hold a ticket to a world of fascination

A passage to each nation

With a passport to the world you and me.

This world of ours, is a place of learning

That extends bend our classroom walls.

A world of places and so many races

A world of oceans, seas and lakes, rivers and streams

We need to be aware of the things around us

And our travels around the sun

And only questions can find the answers

And only answers can find the truth about the world of which we live.

Chorus

Spoken verse:

Have you ever wondered about the clothes you are wearing?

Or the food, candies, and other things that we eat?

How about some of the words of the language we speak?

There are places where they come from.

Do you know that there are 24 time zones which are 15 degrees apart?

That means when I’m waking up someone far away is going to bed.

And the tilt of the Earth? If it’s spring in North America,

Then somewhere south of the equator, the leaves of Autumn begin to fall.

Chorus
