LYRICS. 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
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 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.
Art will be the last bastion when all else fades away. ~ Timothy White (b 1952), American rock music journalist _________________
