You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught / Children Will Listen

Stephen Sondheim, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Rodgers & Hammerstein

[Part I: You've Got To Be Carefully Taught]

Yeah!

You've got to be taught to hate and fear
You've got to be taught from year to year
It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Beforе you are six or seven or еight
To hate all the people your relatives hate–

[Part II: Children Will Listen]

Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Careful the things you do
Children will see
And learn
Children may not obey
But 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

How do you say to your child in the night
"Nothing's all black, but then nothing's all white"?
How do you say, "It will all be all right"
When you know that it mightn't be true?
What do you do?

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
