">"CHILDREN
WILL LISTEN" WRITTEN BY STEVEN SONDHEIM
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 all right
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
Co 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
whatever you put in it's head
Things that you're 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
that step away
Children will glisten
Tample with what is true
And
children will turn
If just to be free
Careful before you say
"Listen to
me"
"YOU'VE GOT TO BE TAUGHT"Â ROGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
Cable:
You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be
taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little
ear
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be taught to be
afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a
diff'rent shade,
You've got to be carefully taught.
You've got to be
taught before it's too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate
all the people your relatives hate,
You've got to be carefully
taught!
