CHILD, CHILD PLEASE TO LISTEN
Child, child please to listen
Please to listen,
Listen well.
Softly spoken murmurs
Hearts do whisper,
Secrets tell.
Greatest joy
And deepest sorrow,
Mingled together,
Mixed and blended
All as one,
Child, child, please to listen
This awaits you,
Listen well.
(Repeat verse 1)
Child, child when you listen
Will you tell us what you hear?
Beauty, truth and wisdom
Heard by the heart of tender year.
Be our eyes and ears and conscience,
Teach us to listen,
Listen or perish
Listen or perish,
Teach us well.Child, child we will listen
We must listen
Please to tell.
All your childish wisdom,
All the answers
In you dwell.
Simple truth and
Innocent musings,
Mingled together,
Mixed and blended
All in one,
Child, child we will listen,
We must listen,
Listen well.
