Listen to the children They shall lead the world For they are our future And they shall be our shame We don't hear the children We only see their faults But they will someday show us up And prove that we were wrong We don't believe the children But they do know where they stand They know what to do and when But we don't understand Be truthful with the children They know when we lie They shall think the worst of us And they will know they are right Pay attention to the children Let them know you care Teach them to be careful And let them be their own The children are our future They hold our fates in hand Teach them to be their best Teach them to run this land
