The Lovin' Spoonful — The Prophet

Ask the children what you wanna know Light the night for me Use the road where the prophets go Though your eyes can't see (Though your eyes can't see) I wonder why you crawl inside Hurtin' bad when you find no one Alone in pride you stayed to die Workin' hard at havin' no fun Rest your oars and drift ashore Let yourself let out and run Instead of sayin' Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na, na-na, na-na, na-na Ask the children what you wanna know Light the night for me Use the road where the prophets go Though your eyes can't see Sweetly filled from their tender well Drink to all you need (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) I hear your cry while you're preachin' pride To the ways love should've been done Be the smile and open wide Lift your face into the sun (Na, na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na Na, na-na, na-na, na-na) Why don't you Ask the children what you wanna know Light the night for me Use the road where the prophets go Though your eyes can't see C'mon Ask the children what you wanna know Light the night for me Sweetly filled from their tender well Drink to all you need Let's go in Ask the children what you wanna know Light the night for me
