Lyrics That Mean Nothing ~ We Were Gifted with Thought ~ I'll Be Holding On To You

Lyrics That Mean Nothing ~ We Were Gifted with Thought ~ 
I'll Be Holding On To You


Many of our target learning goals in school are declarative: I know that.......

But to me, that's like asking a baby how to walk without ever asking them to take that knowledge and use it to practice walking.


Knowledge is important but it is still the lowest level of thinking. We were gifted with thought. Creating what only we can with our thoughts and evaluating the results is the highest.

It's time to move our feet to a more introspective beat. 

Test scores will go way up.

Seas of self-doubt will be parted.

And our children will be left standing on a mountaintop with their arms raised and smiles on their faces as the Sun rises to greet them with each new day as they grow into adulthood.

And then lower-level thinking that produces lower-loving living like terrorism and child abuse and maybe even the divorce rate will begin to diminish instead of what we're seeing now as they are increasing.

(@ 3 minutes into this song): 

Lean with it
Rock with it
When we going to stop with it?

Lyrics that mean nothing 
We were gifted with thought

Is it time to move our feet
To an introspective beat?
