Teach The Gifted Children Lyrics - Reed Lou

Teach the gifted children 

teach them to have mercy 

Teach them about sunsets 

teach them about moonrise 

Teach them about anger 

the sin that comes with dawning 

Teach them about flowers 

the beauty of forgetfulness 

Then take me to the river (take me to the river) 

and put me in the water (and put me in the water) 

Bless them and forgive them (take me to the river) 

father cause they just don't know (take me to the river) 

All the gifted children 

Teach the gifted children 

the way of men and animals 

Teach them about cities 

the history of the mysteries 

Their vice and their virtues 

about branches that blow in the wind 

On the wages of their sins 

teach them of forgiveness 

teach them about mercy 

Teach them about music 

and the cool and cleansing waters 

What do they say, take me to the river (take me to the river) 

take me to the river (take me to the river) 

Put me in the water (take me to the river) 

and teach the gifted children (take me to the river) 

All the gifted children (take me to the river) 

(Take me to the river) 

(Take me to the river)
