Children Will Listen

In the style of

Barbra Streisand

Lyrics

how do you say
to your
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 might not 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 ear

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 whatever 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

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 children
will listen mm mm
