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 pick's 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

solo

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 pick's 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
