Children Will Listen

Children Will Listen - Michael Hope/Jamie Syer

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

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 leave to your child

When you're dead

Only whatever you put in it's head

Things that you're mother and father had said

Which were left to them too

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
