Look To The Ant

Look to the ant
Though he doesn’t have a leader
But, he works very hard
To build his little house

Look to the ant
Though he doesn’t have a leader
But, he works very hard
To build his house

Will you be strong?
Will you do right?
Will you work long into the night?
If so, then look to the ant
Though he doesn’t have a leader
But, he works very hard
To build his house

I am an ant
Though I do not have a leader
But, I work very hard
To build my little house
Yes, I am an ant
Though I do not have a leader

But, I work very hard
To build my house

I carry some rice
I carry some wheat
I carry some sand
That is bigger than me

I am an ant
Though I do not have a leader
But, I work very hard
To build my house

Yes, look to the ant
Though he doesn’t have a leader
But, he works very hard
I work very hard
He works very hard
To build my house!

Oh, look to the ant
Look to the ant
Look to the ant
