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 good bye.
|
Teach, your children well, their father's hell, did slowly go by,
|
And feed, them on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you're known 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 the tender years, can't know the fears, that your elders grew by.
|
And so please help, them with your years, 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 picked, the one you're known 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.
