I wanted to write a song about an imaginary un-school that Rio would attend, where all classes and activities are optional, where the teachers are loved ones, where walks are pedagogy, and where Rio's love for 'science' could flourish.

lyrics

Seems to me that you could figure it all out,
But what do I know?
Achieve your dreams: be an inventor who has no doubts.
But science does!
Takes you to a place you love… On and on and on and on

Teacher teacher, how does learning sound?
Sounds like the feeling that we get when you’re around.
Then we take a walk…
Geography lessons.

When you get there you are always on time.
Everyone is on time when clock time is just a guideline!
There are just so many things to do...
The real secret to develop a contented self:
It is helpful for the young ones to get to play.

First we will build then we destroy
Turn toys into maps and trees into toys
Put it together, take it apart
Imagine with science, experiment with art.
Because there’s always somewhere to begin,
On this campus of friends.

In the place you love, on and on and on…

Seems to me that you could figure it all out,
But what do I know?
On and on and on…
