Bernadette Peters — Children Will Listen

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!
