Lyrics
Witch: (to herself)
No matter what you say, children won't listen
No matter what you know, Children refuse to learn.
Guide them along the way, still they won't listen.
Children can only grow from something you love, to something you lose...
Witch:
This is the world I meant.
Couldn't you listen?
Couldn't you stay content,
Safe behind walls, as I could not?
No matter what you say, children won't listen.
No matter what you know, children refuse to learn.
Guide them along the way, still they won't listen.
Children can only grow
From something you love
To something you lose...
