Children Will Listen Lyrics - Into The Woods

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

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 a 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 do 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 your mother and father had said 

Which were left to them too 

Careful what you say 

Children will listen 

Careful you do them too 

Children will see 

And learn 

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 (repeat 3x)
