A TIMELESS SONG

You who are on the road, Must have a code that you can live by

So become yourself, Because the past is just a good bye.



Teach your children well,Their father's hell did slowly go by,

Feed them on your dreams, The one they picked, 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.



You, of tender years, Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,

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,

Feed them on your dreams, The one they picked, 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.
