Children Will Listen Lyrics by Katie Birtill

Baby, Dream Your Dream

2018

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
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'll all be alright
When you know that it mightn't be true?
What do you do?
What do you leave to your child when you're dead?
Only whatever you put in its head
Things that your mother and father had said
Which were left to thеm too
Careful what you say

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 2]
Careful the spеll 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
Mmm
