Stephen Sondheim - Finale: Children Will Listen Lyrics

just calm the child
just calm the child
sometimes people leave you half way through the woods
do not let it reave you no one leaves for good
you are not alone
no one is alone
hold him to the light now
let him see the glow
things will be alright now
tell him what you now
careful the things you say
children will listen
careful the things you do
children will see and learn
guide them along the way
children would listen
children will lock to you
for wich way you 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 it takes
wishes come true not free
careful the spell you cast
not just for children
sometimes a spell they last
as what you can see and turn against you
careful the tail you tell that is the spell
children will listen
