Finale Children Will Listen

The slotted spoon can catch the potato
Every knot was once straight rope
The harder to wake, the better to have
The greater the good, the harder the blow
When going to hide, know how to get there
And how to get back
And eat first
The knife that is sharp today may be dull by tomorrow
Ah- ah- ah ah- ah
Waaah!

Maybe I just wasn't meant to have children
Don't say that
Of corse you were meant to have children
But how will I go about being a father
With no one to mother my child?
Waaah!
Just calm the child
Yes, 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 all right now
Tell him what you know
Waaah!

Shhh. Once upon a time... In a far-off kingdom
There lived a young maiden... A sad young lad
Amd a childless baker... With his wife.

Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see
And learn.

Children may not obey
Buit children will listen
Children will look to you
For which way to tuen
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 shildren
Sometimes the spell may last
Past what you see
And turn against you.

Careful the tale you tell
That is the spell
Children will listen.

Though it's fearful
Though it's deep, though it's dark
And though you may lsoe the path
Though you may encounter wolves
You can't just act
You have to listne
You can't just act
You have to think.

Though it's dark
There are always wolves
There are always spells
There are always beans
Or a Giant dwells there.

So it's
Into the woods
You go again
You have to
Every now and then
Into the woods
No telling when
Be ready for the journey.

Into the woods,
But not too fast
Or what you wish
You lose at last.

Into the woods, but mind the past
Into the woods, but mind the future
Into the woods, but not to stray
Or tempt the Wolf or steal from the Giant
The way is dark
The light is dim
But now there's you
Me, her and him
The chances look small
The choices look grim
But everything you learn there
Will help when you return there.

The light is getting dimmer
I think I see a glimmer.

Into the woods
You have to grope
But that's the way
You learn to cope
Into the woods
To find there's hope
Of getting through the journey.

Into the woods
Each time you go
There's more to lern
Of what you knoe.

Into the woods, but not too slow
Into the woods, it's nearing midnight
Into the woods to mind the Wolf
To heed the Witch
To honor the Giant
To mind
To heed
To find
To think
To teach
To join
To go to the Festival!

Into the woods
Into the woods
Into the woods
Then put of the woods
And happy ever after!
... I wish...
