Teach Your Children
Crosby, Stills, Nash & YoungOriginale | Trascrizione del controcanto intercalato nella terza strofa |
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN 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 picks, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will 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 will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you. | TEACH YOUR CHILDREN And you (Can you hear and), of tender years (do you care and), Can't know the fears (Can’t you see we) that your elders grew by (must be free to) And so please help (Teach your children) them with your youth (what you believe in), They seek the truth (Make a world that) before they can die (we can live in). |
