TFT: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Not every song that will be featured in this TWO FOR TUESDAY (TFT) series will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair while others will be quite obviously fervent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father in one way or another, and I hope that you will want to hear and fully accept the message, if you have been allowed and enabled to.



Teach Your Children
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
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 good-bye

Teach
The children well
THeir father's hell
Did 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 would cry
So just look at them
And sigh
And know they love you

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
The parents well
The 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 would cry
So just look at them
And sigh
And know they love you


Southern Cross
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
Got out of town
On a boat
For the Southern Islands
Sailin’ to reach
Before
A followin’ sea
She was makin' for the Trades
On the outside
And the downhill run
To Papeete

Off the wind
On this heading
Lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of waterline
Nicely making way
In a noisy bar
In Avalon
I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch
I realized
Why twice you ran away

Think about
How many times
I have fallen
Spirits are usin’ me
Larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought
You and me
Cannot be forgotten
I have been around
The world
Lookin’ for
That woman girl
Who knows
Love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will

When you see
The Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now why
You came this way
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from
Is so small
But it's as big as the promise
The promise of a comin’ day

So
I'm sailin’ for tomorrow
My dreams are a dyin'
And my love is an anchor
Tied to you
Tied with a silver chain
I have my ship
And all her flags are a flyin'
She is all I have left
And music is her name

Think about
How many times
I have fallen
Spirits are usin’ me
Larger voices callin'
What Heaven brought
You and me
Cannot be forgotten
I have been around
The world
Lookin' for
That woman girl
Who knows
Love can endure
And you know it will
And you know it will

So we cheated
And we lied
And we tested
And we never failed to fail
It was the easiest thing to do
You will survive
Bein’ bested
Aomebody fine
Will come along
Make me forget about lovin’ you
And the Southern Cross
And the Southern Cross
