Care ful the things you say,
Chil dren will lis ten.
Care ful the things you do,
Chil dren will see.
And learn.
Guide them a long the way,
Chil dren will glis ten.
Chil dren will look to you
For which way to turn,
To learn what to be.
Care ful be fore you say,
“Lis ten to me.”
Chil dren will lis ten.
Care ful the wish you make,
Wish es are chil dren.
Care ful the path they take,
Wish es come true,
Not free.
Care ful the spell you cast,
Not just on chil dren.
Some times the spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn a gainst you...
Care ful the tale you tell.
That is the spell.
Chil dren will lis ten...
