Crosby Stills & Nash - Teach Your Children

  1. 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 pick's
    The one you'll know by.
    Don't you ever ask them why
    If they told you, you would die
    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)
    Them with your youth (You believe and)
    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 pick's
    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.
