Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Teach the gifted children
Teach them to have mercy
Teach them about sunsets
Teach them about moonrise
[Verse 2]
Teach them about anger
The sin that comes with dawning
Teach them about flowers
And the beauty of forgetfulness
[Verse 3]
Then take me to the river
And put me in the water
Bless them and forgive them
Father, 'cause they just don't know
[Verse 4]
All the gifted children
[Verse 5]
Teach the gifted children
The ways of man and animals
Teach them about cities
The history of the mysteries
[Verse 6]
Their vices and their virtues
About branches that blow in the wind
On the wages of their sins
Teach them of forgiveness
[Verse 7]
Teach them about mercy
Teach them about music
And the cool and cleansing water
[Verse 8]
Take me to the river
And take me to the river
Put me in the water
And teach the gifted children
All the gifted children
