My daddy taught me how to talk
And how to walk
But he could never show me
How to be myself
My teacher taught me how to spell
And do math well
But she could never show me
How to know what’s right
Rules will make me tow the line
I’m doing fine
But they can never make me
Be a better man
While using words to express
I give it all my best
But they don’t go near as deep
As the passions I feel
The Rational Element
