Children Will Listen - Barbra Streisand

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 it's 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
