You have to know

Where you're going

Before you say ";good-bye";

You have to know

What you're asking

Before you ask ";why?";



And I think to myself

Wonderful way

My world revolves just a different way

And I think for a while

Reflecting a smile

If changes are coming

I gotta say



You have to know

Where you're going

Before you say ";good-bye";

You have to know

What you're asking

Before you ask ";why?";



Love, love

Children of Rock 'n' Roll

Love, love

Raised on Rock 'n' Roll



I remember all the words of

Love that we sang out of tune

Waving good-bye to a generation

As we danced

By the light of the moon

I remember oh so clear

How the world

Looked from Blueberry Hill

When you sang all the songs

On a six-string guitar

And it made you a Rock 'n' Roll Star



You have to know

Where you're going

Before you say ";good-bye";

You have to know

What you're asking

Before you ask ";why?";



You have to know

Where you're going

Before you say ";good-bye";

You have to know

What you're asking

Before you ask ";why?";



Children of Rock 'n' Roll

Raised on Rock 'n' Roll

Children of Rock 'n' Roll

We played Elysian Park

Until the night was dark

Children of Rock 'n' Roll

We traveled eight miles high

We never saw the sky

Children of Rock 'n' Roll

We had a beautiful day

When an island gave way to the

Children of Rock 'n' Roll

And in the Garden of Dreams

We found out what it means

To be the

Children of Rock 'n' Roll

Raised on Rock 'n' Ro
