Wake up

Let’s go to school

So we never retire

I will never look my back

Pick up your shoes

Pull up your socks

Pick up your shoes

Pull up your socks

I wash up my face

I lift up my eyes

and pray

To guide me on my way

I look into my future

Just how going to be

I can never be so sad

Worried

Key Grammar Structures

It’s time to go to school

➔ Subject-Verb agreement with "It is"

➔ The phrase "It's" is a contraction of "It is". "It" is the subject (singular) and "is" is the verb. The sentence indicates a specific moment or period suitable for the action.
So we never retire

➔ Use of "so" as a conjunction expressing purpose.

➔ The word "so" introduces a clause that explains the reason or purpose behind the action in the main clause. In this case, the purpose of going to school is to ensure they "never retire", implying financial security and continued engagement.
I will never look my back

➔ Use of "will" for future intention or determination.

➔ The modal verb "will" expresses a firm intention about the future. Here, it conveys a strong resolve not to look back, suggesting a focus on the future and a determination to move forward.
I look into my future just how going to be

➔ Indirect question structure; future tense implied by "going to be"

➔ The sentence contains an embedded question using "how". The phrase "going to be" is a common way to express future plans or predictions. The speaker is contemplating what their future will hold.
I can never be so sad

➔ Use of modal verb "can" with adverb "never" for strong negation.

➔ "Can never" emphasizes the speaker's strong belief or determination that they will not allow themselves to be excessively sad. It expresses a firm resolve to maintain a positive outlook.
When I grow up treat all my friends

➔ Future action using present simple in a "when" clause; missing "I will" before "treat".

➔ The grammar implies a future action linked to the condition of growing up. In clauses of time introduced by "when", the present simple is used to refer to the future. The sentence is grammatically incomplete, as it omits "I will" before "treat". It should ideally read "When I grow up, I will treat all my friends."
Teach them to Love My Mother and My Father

➔ Infinitive of purpose with "to love"; possessive adjectives "My".

➔ The phrase "to Love" expresses the purpose of teaching someone. "My Mother" and "My Father" use the possessive adjective "My" to indicate the speaker's parents.
