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 father’s hell did slowly go by
and feed them on your dreams
the one they picked
the one you’ll know by
post
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 you hear and do you care
can’t know the fears and can you see
that your elders grew by we must be free
and so please help to teach your children
them with your youth what you believe in
they seek the truth make a world
before they can die that we can live in
teach your parents well
the children’s hell
will slowly go by
and feed them on your dreams
the one they picked
the one you’ll know by
post
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
