For a Tired but Sweet, Lovely Lass

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
'Cause their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they fix, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you would cry
So you just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.


And you, of tender years
(Can you hear me and do you care, can't you see)
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by
(You must be free to teach your children)
And so please help them with your youth
(What you believe in)
They seek the truth before they can die
(Make a world that we can live in)

Teach your parents well
'Cause their children's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they fix, 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.
