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.
Don't you ever ask them why,
if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh,
and know they love you.
