Show them how to balance [B] What is wrong and what is right

[Ab] Make their own directions [Eb] Through the longest, darkest [B] night
Oh, you [Ebm] need that rite of passage [Db] Before you can continue on

You may want for children You [Db] may crave for man and wife
But [B] you need that rite of passage To [Bb] the summer of [Ab] your life
_ _ [Ebm] Show the children to the Master With the [Ab] tools into [B] their hands
