Children Will Listen |
How do you say to your child in the night |
Nothing is all black but then nothing is all white? |
How do you say it will all be alright |
When you know that it mightn’t be true? |
What do you do? |
Careful the things you say, |
Children will listen. |
Careful the things you do, |
Children will see. |
And learn. |
Children may not obey, |
But children will listen. |
Children will look to you |
For which way to turn, |
To learn what to be. |
Careful before you say, |
«Listen to me.» |
Children will listen. |
Careful the wish you make, |
Wishes are children. |
Careful the path they take, |
Wishes come true, |
Not free. |
Careful the spell you cast, |
Not just on children. |
Sometimes the spell may last |
Past what you can see |
And turn against you… |
Careful the tale you tell. |
That is the spell. |
Children will listen… |
How can you say to a child who’s in flight, |
Don’t slip away and I won’t hold so tight? |
What can you say that no matter how slight won’t be misunderstood? |
What do you leave to your child when you’re dead |
Only what ever you put in its head |
Things that your mother and father had said |
Which were left to them too. |
Careful what you say, children will listen |
Careful you do it too, children will see and learn. |
Oh! |
Guide them but step away, |
Children will glisten. |
Temper with what is true |
And children will turn, |
If just to be free. |
Careful before you say, |
«Listen to me.» |
Children will listen… |
Children will listen! |
Children, children will listen |
