Child be wise
So many have died to see you survive
So many have died to see you stay alive
Know where you are in the struggle
Don't waste opportunity given to you
Respect yourself and your fore parents too
It is by their sacrifice that your life is not that miserable

Child be wise
Many tears wetted the land and raised the level of the ocean
Hope made many give their lives
They could only imagine a time when their children 
would have life this nice

Child be wise
Don't take anything for granted
The moment you relax, they will pull back
Have sense, be on the defense
Better yet, be on the offense
Develop your natural resources
And be prepared to teach your children, 
So they be wise
