[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 1]
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'

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
(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)

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Ask the children what you wanna know
Light the night for me
