Watch your children, they see what you do.
Be careful because it might come back to you.

Listen to them, and try to understand
They’re just getting in this world, they don’t grow up on demand.

Listen to their dreams, listen to their fears
Listen to their silent cries that are sometimes hard to hear.

You must tell them you love them, and you must follow through
Be careful what you say to them, be careful what you do.

For the quiet, they get angry, and the weak get strong
I told you to be careful, I told you all along.

For a child’s mind is confusing, constantly changing how they feel
You must sit down with your child, their thoughts are strangely real.

All they want to do is run, so afraid of life
A child needs a lot of love, always fighting to survive.

Be careful what you say, be careful what you do
A child can be very wise, learn to see it too.
