Children of Rock ’n’ Roll Lyrics by John Lodge

Natural Avenue

1977

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, love
Children of Rock 'n' Roll
Love, love
Raised on Rock 'n' Roll
I remembеr all the words of love that we sang out of tunе
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 it 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
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
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' Roll
Raised on rockin', raised on rockin', raised on rockin' ways
Raised on rockin', raised on rockin', raised in rockin' days
Raised on rockin', raised on rockin', raised on rockin' ways
Raised on rockin', raised on rockin', raised in rockin' days
