Lyrics of 'Children Will Listen / You've Got To Be Carefully Taught' by Renée Fleming

On our website, we have the complete lyrics of the song Children Will Listen / You've Got To Be Carefully Taught that you were looking for.

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
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

You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught
You've got to be carefully taught

Careful the things you say
Children will listen
You've got to be carefully
Careful you do it too
Children will see
You've got to be taught
And learn

Guide them then step away
Children will glisten
You've got to be taught
Tamper with what is true
And children will turn
If just to be free

Careful before you say
Listen to me

Children will listen
Children will listen
Children will listen
