Finale: Children Will Listen (Part 1)

Waaah! Waaah!
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
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.

Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom there lay a small village at the edge of the woods. And in this village lived a young maiden, a carefree young lad, and a childless baker...with his wife.

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

Guide them along the way
Children will listen
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 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.
