You have to know where you're going
Before you say goodbye
You have to know what you're asking
Before you ask whyAnd 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 sayYou have to know where you're going
Before you say goodbye
You have to know what you're asking
Before you ask whyLove, love
Children of rock 'n' roll
Love, love
Raised on rock 'n' rollI 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 moonI 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 starYou have to know where you're going
Before you say goodbye
You have to know what you're asking
Before you ask why?You have to know where you're going
Before you say goodbye
You have to know what you're asking
Before you ask whyChildren of rock 'n' roll
Raised on rock 'n' roll
Children of rock 'n' roll
We played Elysian Park
Until the night was darkChildren of rock 'n' roll
We traveled eight miles high
We never saw the sky
Children of rock 'n' rollWe had a beautiful day
When an island gave way
To the children of rock 'n' rollAnd in the Garden of Dreams
We found out what it means
To be the children of rock 'n' roll
Raised on rock 'n' rollRaised on rockin', raised on rockin'
Raised on rockin' ways
Raised on rockin', raised on rockin'
Raised in rockin' daysRaised on rockin', raised on rockin'
Raised on rockin' ways
Raised on rockin', raised on rockin'
Raised in rockin' days
