So Far
1974
They seek the truth before they can die
The one they picked, the one you'll know by
(You dear, do you care?)
So just look at them and sigh
(Reach your dreams of true beginning)
Teach your children well
You, who are on the road
(Do you see? You must be free to)
And feed them on your dreams
Because the past is just a goodbye
And so become yourself
Don't you ever ask them why?
If they told you, you would cry
Their children's hell will slowly go by
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And know they love you
Songwriter: Graham Nash
And feed them on your dreams
So just look at them and sigh
(Make a [incomprehensible], [incomprehensible] a living)
The one they picked, the one you'll know by
Must have a code that you can live by
Publisher: NASH NOTES
And you, of tender years
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And know they love you
(Oh, ho)
Teach your parents well
And so please help them with your youth
If they told you, you would cry
Don't you ever ask them why?
