Finale/Children Will Listen, Pt. 1

Shh, maybe I just wasn't meant to have children

Don't say that, of course, you were meant to have children

But how can I go about being a father when I had no father to show me?

Just calm the child

Just calm the child

Look, tell him the story of how it all happened

Be father and mother, you'll know what to do

Alone

Sometimes, people leave you

Halfway through the wood

Do not let it grieve 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 know

Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom

There lay a small village at the edge of the woods

Careful the things you say

And in this village

Children will listen

There lived a young maiden

Careful the things you do

A carefree young lad

Children will see

And a childless baker

And learn

With his wife

Guide them along the way

Children will glisten

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 you 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
