This is dirt. We call it soil
This is work. Some call it toil
We make food from dirt and rain
We’re the first link in the chain
I teach’em how
Here by the owl
I take kids and turn them into people
I know each one in my class
And I want them all to pass
Each one is good at something and we’ll find it
That’s just our way
The FFA
Some like showing livestock at the fairgrounds
Others like the tractor sound
And the tilling of the ground
They use their brain and their hands to get the job done
They’re on their way
The FFA
They might learn to weld or be a speaker
Be a nerdy scientist
Or an ag economist
But most of all a person of good character
So we can say
They’re FFA
This is dirt. We call it soil
This is work. Some call it toil
We make food from dirt and rain
We’re the first link in the chain
I teach’em how
Here by the owl❖
