| Verse1: | |
| 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 will slowly go by, | |
| And feed them on your dreams, | |
| the one they pick 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 | |
| - - - | |
| Verse2: | |
| 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 | |

| Descant in V2: | |
| Can You Hear? Do You Care? | |
| Can You See We Must Be Free To... | |
| Teach Your Children You Believe, | |
| Make A World That We Can Live In | |
