Children Will Listen

How do you say to a child in the night

Nothing's all black but then nothing's 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

(Wishes are children)

Careful the path they take

Wishеs come true

Not free

Careful thе 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
