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
