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 ...

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 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 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 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, oh ...
