You who are on the road
            D                 A      Asus4 A
Must have a code that you can live by
    D             G
And so become yourself
            D              A      Asus4 A
Because the past is just a good-bye.

Teach your children well,
               D               A    Asus4 A
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
    D                 G
And feed them on your dreams
             D                       A     Asus4 A
The one they picked's the one you'll know by.

And you, of tender years,
               D                      A     Asus4 A
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
       D                          G
And so please help them with your youth,
              D                 A      Asus4 A
They seek the truth before they can die.

D                  G
Teach your parents well,
                 D                A    Asus4 A
Their children's hell will slowly go by,

And feed them on your dreams
             D                       A      Asus4 A
The one they picked's the one you'll know by.
