Musical Mondays Moves Me!: songs that begin with T (in honor of Thanksgiving)

Amanda at Bloggin’ with Amanda hosts Musical Monday – What Move’s You?. You can get the instructions by clicking here. 

Lorie at The Shrewbridges of Celebration, FL told me aboutMonday's Music Moves Me, so here's another cool music blog meme to do!


This Monday, in honor of Thanksgiving,we are supposed to submit songs that begin with the letter T.


This old favorite from the 1970s popped into my head immediately!  I've always been a fan of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.  Their album, Deja Vu is one of my all-time favorites!!!  As a matter of fact, the very first concert we (my ex and I ) took our kids to was a (much older) CSNY concert in Philadelphia back in 1999.  Gina was 15, Tim was 11 (and HORRIFIED that people were (gasp!!)  smoking MARIJUANA!!) and Dani was 8 (she fell asleep).  I still have the T-shirt we purchased and I wear it as a night shirt quite often!


So, without further ado, I give you... Teach Your Children.







Teach Your Children
by Graham Nash

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 goodbye.

Teach, your children well
Their father's hell
Did slowly go by 
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's
The one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would die
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.

And you (Can you hear and) 
Of tender years (Do you care and)
Can't know the fears (Can you see we)
That your elders grew by (Must be free to)
And so please help (Teach your children)
Them with your youth (You believe and)
They seek the truth (Make a world that)
Before they can die (We can live in)

Teach your parents well
Their children’s hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's
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.
