about

All proceeds from the sale of this song benefit school building projects through Sudan Sunrise.

lyrics

Brick by brick the classes are coming together, class by class the school is being built. Inch by inch the sun is getting higher, second by second the land is getting hotter.

Sudan, let the classes begin, let the students come in, now the sun has risen.

No shoes, no socks, on your way to school watch out for sharp rocks. The teacher meets us under the tree, no class when it rains everybody’s gotta leave. If you own a chair, bring one with so you can sit there. The chalkboard leans up against the tree, the kids come close so they can see.
