============================================


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, 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 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
