Teach Your Children

by Graham Nash

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 fix

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 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 fix

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.
