What did I clearly say
Children should listen
No, no, please
What were you not to do
Children must see
No
And learn
Why could you not obey
Children should listen
What have I been to you
What would you have me be
Handsome like a Prince
Ah, but I am old
I am ugly
I embarrass you
No
You are ashamed of me
No
You are ashamed
You don't understand
I am no longer a child, I wish to see the world
Don't you know what's out there in the world
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me
Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too
Stay at home
I am home
Who out there could love you more than I
What out there that I cannot supply
Stay with me
Stay with me
The world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child
With me
