Teach Your Children Songtext
von The Hollies

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
′Cause 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 it?)
Of tender years
(Do you care and)
You can't know all the fears
(Can you see it?)
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
Before they can die

Teach your parents well
′Cause 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
