The Hollies - 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 did slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they picks, the one you'll know by Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you would cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you And you (Can you hear?) of tender years (And do you care?) Can't know the fears (And can you see?) that your elders grew by (We must be free) And so, please help (To teach your children) them with your youth (What you believe in) They seek the truth (Make a world) before they can die (That 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 picks, 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
