Bernadette Peters
lament
Select language to translate this lyric
This is the world I meant
Couldn't you listen
Couldn't you stay content safe behind walls
as I could not
Now you know what's out there in the world
No one can prepare you for the world
Even I
How could I who loved you as you were?
How could I have shielded you from her?
Or them
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
