Children will glisten
That is the spell
Not free
Careful the things you say
How do you say it will all be alright
What can you say that no matter how slight won't be misunderstood?
And children will turn
Past what you can see
Only what ever you put in it's head
"Listen to me"
Don't slip away and I won't hold so tight?
And learn
Children will listen
What do you do?
What do you leave to your child when you're dead
And turn against you
Careful the spell you cast
Sometimes the spell may last
How can you say to a child who's in flight
But children will listen
To learn what to be
Careful what you say
Careful you do it too
When you know that it mightn't be true?
Careful the tale you tell
Children will look to you
Careful before you say
Careful the things you do
Careful before you say
Children will listen
For which way to turn
Oh
Children will listen
Wishes are children
Children may not obey
Children will listen
Wishes come true
Not just on children
Children will see and learn
Which were left to them too
Careful the wish you make
Children will listen
If just to be free
Children will listen
Temper with what is true
Things that your mother and father had said
"Listen to me"
Guide them but step away
Children will see
Careful the path they take
