作曲：Michael Fonfara/Lou Reed

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

And 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
