lyrics

Child, never listen to me/ Question Authority
Or you'll never hear your own voice/ A silent whisper in your heart
Child, don't you repeat your forefather's destiny
Don't matter if it's written in the stars or in your imagination/ you still have to go your own way/ you still wake up within your own day...

I'll teach you all of my tricks, but my hand you will have to let go.
I'll give you the secret password, but what you discover inside is your own.

Child, never march to the beat/ of any but your own feet
Sometimes you're facing West, other times East/ your heartbeat will tell you
Child, please don't forget/ life's a stunt without a safety net/ but if you need a blanket, oh child come here. We all rely on the love of others (especially our mothers...)

I'll teach you all of my tricks, but my hand you will have to let go.
I'll give you the secret password, but what you discover inside is your own.

A silent whisper in your heart...your heartbeat will tell you...

I'll teach you all of my tricks, but my hand you will have to let go.
I'll give you the secret password, but what you discover inside is your own.
