WHEN
THE STUDENT IS READY
Words & music:
VERSE (A – E – A – A7 – D7 – A – E – A)
sometimes
we don’t seem to learn the lessons
as
life goes by so fast
we
might even be repeating
SOME
mistakes from our past
you
can’t learn until you are ready
but
don’t SHED NO TEARS
`cause
when the student is ready
the
teacher will appear
sometimes
we seem so restless
And
problems seem immense
the
more we try to understand
STILL
don’t MAKE NO SENSE
iT
has nothing to do with schooling
It
don’t take no engineer
`cause
when the student is ready
the
teacher will appear
CHORUS (Bm –
A – Bm – A – Bm – A – Dmaj7
– A – E –A)
when the student is ready
the teacher will appear
when it seems SO distant
that’s when it Is near
when the truth COMES AROUND
it rings loud and clear
`cause when the student is ready
the teacher will appear
as
we go through different situations
and
our book of life is penned
there
is a moral to the story
i’ve
seen it again and again
but
hang in there a little longer
never
give in to fear
`cause
when the student is ready
the
teacher will appear
BRIDGE (Dm –A – Dm – E – A)
when the student is ready - when the student is ready
when the student is ready - the teacher will appear
