Into the Woods movie - Children Will Listen lyrics

<br>

How do you say to your child in the night?<br>

Nothing's all black, but then nothing's all white<br>

How do you say it will all be all right<br>

When you know that it might not be true?<br>

What do you do?<br>

<br>

Careful the things you say<br>

Children will listen<br>

Careful the things you do<br>

Children will see and learn<br>

Children may not obey, but children will listen<br>

Children will look to you for which way to turn<br>

Co learn what to be<br>

Careful before you say "Listen to me"<br>

Children will listen<br>

<br>

Careful the wish you make <br>

Wishes are children<br>

Careful the path they take<br>

Wishes come true, not free<br>

Careful the spell you cast<br>

Not just on children<br>

Sometimes the spell may last<br>

Past what you can see<br>

And turn against you<br>

Careful the tale you tell<br>

That is the spell<br>

Children will listen<br>

<br>

How can you say to a child who's in flight<br>

"Don't slip away and i won't hold so tight"<br>

What can you say that no matter how slight Won't be misunderstood<br>

What do you leave to your child when you're dead?<br>

Only whatever you put in it's head<br>

Things that you're mother and father had said<br>

Which were left to them too<br>

Careful what you say<br>

Children will listen<br>

Careful you do it too<br>

Children will see<br>

And learn, oh guide them that step away<br>

Children will glisten<br>

Tample with what is true<br>

And children will turn<br>

If just to be free<br>

Careful before you say<br>

"Listen to me"<br>

<br>

Children will listen (repeat 3x)<br>

<br>

<br>
