You have to know

Where you're going

Before you say Goodbye.

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 Goodbye.

You have to know

What you're asking

Before you ask why?.



Love

Children of rock 'n' roll

Love

Raised on rock 'n' roll.



I remember all the words of

Love that we sang out of tune,

Waving goodbye 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 made you a rock 'n' roll star.



You have to know

Where you're going

Before you say Goodbye.

You have to know

What you're asking

Before you ask why?.



Children of rock 'n' roll

Raised on rock 'n' roll.

We played Elysian Park

Until the night was dark,

Children of rock 'n' roll.

We travelled 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' roll.
