Once we were so young and blind

We were all so innocent and kind

So innocent and kind



Whatever the world looks like right now

Whatever the time to come will allow

We taught the children

We taught the children of the earth



All the sorrows of the world

Have been laid like fine in our hands

From the father to the son it stands

So the circle never ends



Whatever the world looks like right now

Whatever the time to come will allow

We taught the children

We taught the children of the earth

Everybody's gotta know wrong and right

Everybody stop!

Turn on the right!

We taught the children

We taught the children of the earth



Once we were so young and blind

We were all so innocent and kind

So innocent and kind



Whatever the world looks like right now

Whatever the time to come will allow

We taught the children

We taught the children of the earth

Everybody's gotta know wrong and right

Everybody stop!

Turn on the right!

We taught the children

We taught the children of the earth
