Teach Your Children Lyrics - Stills & Nash Crosby

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 good bye 

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 will cry 

So just look at them and sigh 

And know they love you 

And you of tender years 

Can't know the fears that your elders grew by 

And so please help them with your youth 

They seek the truth before they can die 

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
