Children Will Listen by Bernadette Peters Lyrics
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 spеll may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you
Careful the tale you tеll
That is the spell
Children will listen
Guide them but step away
Children will glisten
Tamper 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 will listen
[Spoken]
There's nothing more to say I guess, except, um, thank you for being here tonight, and Happy Hanukah. And, besides that, I want to say this. Ooh, I'm going to sit on the edge of the stage. Remember who did this? I'll drink water first. I put on red shoes for this song. Look!
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 spеll may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you
Careful the tale you tеll
That is the spell
Children will listen
Guide them but step away
Children will glisten
Tamper 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
