Crosby & Nash - Teach Your Children lyrics

You who are on the road Must have a code That you can live by And so become yourself Because the past Is just a goodbye. Teach your children well Their father's hell Will slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they picked The one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you will cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you. And you, (can you hear and) Of tender years (do you care and) Can't know the fears (can you see we) That your elders grew by (must be free to) And so please help (teach your children what) Them with your youth (you believe in) They seek the truth (make a world that) Before they can die (we can live in) Teach your parents well Their children's hell Will slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they picked The one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you will cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you.
