Children Will Listen / Not While I'm Around (from "Into the Woods" / "Sweeney Todd") - Josh Groban

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

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 a spell may last

Past what you can see

And turn against you

Careful the tale you tell

That is the spell

Children will listen

Listen

Nothing’s gonna harm you

Not while I’m around

Nothing’s gonna harm you

No sir, not while I’m around

Demons are prowling everywhere

Nowadays

I’ll send 'em howling I don’t care

I’ve got ways

No one’s gonna hurt you

No one’s gonna dare

Others can desert you

Not to worry, whistle, I’ll be there

Demons’ll charm you with a smile

For a while

But in time

Nothing can harm you

Not while I’m around

Not to worry, not to worry

I may not be smart but I ain’t dumb

I can do it, put me to it

Show me something I can overcome

Not to worry, Mum

Being close and being clever

Ain’t like being true

I don’t need to

I would never hide a thing from you

Like some

No one’s gonna hurt you

No one’s gonna dare

Others can desert you

Not to worry, whistle I’ll be there

Demons’ll charm you with a smile

For a while

But in time

Nothin' can harm you

Not while I’m around
