School song that moved viewers’ hearts.

by Knowing Korea

Recently, an elementary student appeared on a TV show and sang in a clear ringing voice a beautiful song with touching lyrics.

People were immediately curious what this song was and where it had come from. It turned out to be a song from ‘Gandhi School’, an alternative school founded in 1997. ‘Gandhi School’ has a goal of breaking free from the conventional overly-competitive education traditions, and pursue "whole-person education" instead, a philosophy which is expressed clearly in their school song “Unless You Dream”.

[Lyrics]

Unless you dream you’re not alive, pioneering forward with a heart for counting stars

Unless you love you’re not alive, voyaging onward with a heart full of breeze

Dreaming beautiful, loving altogether, taking steps that have never been taken

Building our new world nobody could have ever dreamt of

Through learning I will dream, by teaching I will sing for hope

We know, we learned

Through learning I will dream, by teaching I will sing for hope
