Read like the future depends on it

Don’t say you have no time to spend on it

Read to your children, your siblings, your cousins

You can even read to the bun in the oven

Read like the future depends on it

Grab a book and become best friends with it

A novel, a rhyme, it’s never wasted time

The library has more stories than we could ever climb

Read like the future depends on it

That book, you know, your friend recommended it?

Monkey see, monkey do, so it depends on you

When they see you read, they’ll think ‘I can read too’

Read like the future depends on it

It’s breaking but we can start mending it

Read, I implore you, and I will adore you…

It doesn’t matter how little you spend on it

Read, because their future depends on it
