Teach Your Children (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 good-bye,
Teach your children well, their father'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

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 pick's the one you'll know by

Descant in verse 2:
Can You Hear? Do You Care? Can You See We Must Be Free To...
Teach Your Children You Believe, Make A World That We Can Live In
