What is more harmful children singing a song about the President or a group of adults protesting outside an elementary school as children go in or class in session?
Is this America? Is this what we want to teach our children _ to fear us? They didn’t start the fire but some are bent on dragging them in to squash it?
Indoctrination what? I think we should more concern about negative images they see on TV and songs played over the radio than a song about the President.
Mothers, Fathers what’s it all about? Are you now using your children as political pawns?
Have we no shame? Have we no feelings? Must everything be about politics? Can’t we anyone stand up and be logical? Where does it end? If we are all about taking care of our children and protecting them, what does protesting outside a school have to say about who we are as a nation protecting the innocent? Are we protecting or scaring them?
“and we are not saved…”
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 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
Co 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
How can you say to a child who's in flight
"Don't slip away and i won't hold so tight"
What can you say that no matter how slight Won't be misunderstood
What do you leave to your child when you're dead?
Only whatever you put in it's head
Things that you're mother and father had said
Which were left to them too
Careful what you say
Children will listen
Careful you do it too
Children will see
And learn, oh guide them that step away
Children will glisten
Tample with what is true
And children will turn
If just to be free
Careful before you say
"Listen to me"
