Songs about parenting? There's Teach Your Children, by Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
You, who are on the road Must have a code That you can live by And so become yourself Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well Their father's hell Did slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?" If they told you, you would cry So, just look at them and sigh And know they love you
And you, of tender years (can you hear and do you care) Can't know the fears (and can't you see) That your elders grew by (we must be free) And, so, please help them with your youth (to teach your children what you believe in) They seek the truth (make a world that we can live in) Before they can die
Teach your parents well Their children's hell Will slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them, "Why?" If they told you, you would cry So, just look at them and sigh And know they love you
