Lyrics
In the school of this present day kids
In the current educational system, children are taught about the dangers of AIDS.
Are informed to look out for Aids,
The emphasis is on awareness of AIDS, but there's a lack of discussion about changing lifestyles.
But no one says, not a single word,
There is silence about the need for a shift in behaviors and habits.
'bout a change of lifestyles and ways,
No one is addressing the importance of altering lifestyles and ways of living.
Listen prophets of this modern day,
The lyrics address modern-day prophets, suggesting they may be fallible.
Maybe sometime you could be wrong,
The possibility that the advice given by modern prophets might be incorrect.
'Cause what you preach, someone else must reap
The consequences of preaching without considering who will bear the results.
This generation next to come,
Concern for the well-being of the next generation.
Learn protection, break out of line,
Encouragement to learn about protection and break away from conventional norms.
Save the action for the holy time,
Suggesting that certain actions should be reserved for special, sacred times.
Call it old fashioned,
Labeling certain advice as old-fashioned but emphasizing its timeless value.
But it's more like timeless information,
Highlighting the enduring nature of the information provided.
But we can't just educate all things away.
A recognition that education alone cannot solve all problems.
Staying away,
Advocating for staying away from negative influences.
Save your life all the way,
Emphasizing the importance of saving one's life by making positive choices.
It's not true; you will not be alone,
Rejecting the idea that making positive choices means being alone.
Dare to say no,
Encouraging the courage to say no to peer pressure.
Peer pressure must go,
Advocating for the elimination of peer pressure.
Stay alive in the "I'm waiting" zone.
Surviving and thriving in a state of anticipation and preparation.
Staying away,
Reiteration of the importance of staying away from negative influences.
Save your life all the way,
Reemphasizing the significance of saving one's life through positive choices.
It's not true; you will not be alone,
Rejecting the misconception that making positive choices leads to isolation.
Dare to say no,
Encouraging the courage to reject peer pressure.

Stay alive in the "I'm waiting" zone,
Thriving in a state of anticipation and readiness.
