Lyrics of Finale / Children Will Listen, Pt. 1 by James Corden,Emily Blunt,Meryl Streep,Company - Into the Woods
verse
Shhh, maybe I just wasnt 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 alright now
Tell him what you know
verse
Once upon a time
In a far off kingdom
There lay a small village at the edge of the wood.
verse
Careful the things you say
verse
And in this village there lived a young maiden (children will listen)
verse
(Careful the things you do)
verse
A carefree young lad (Children will see)
verse
And a childless baker (and learn)
verse
With his wife...
verse
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.
verse
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
Writer(s): Stephen Sondheim
