Teach Your Children Songtext
von Crosby, Stills & 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
Your fathers' 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 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
The 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
