How Do You Teach A Child


How do you teach a child all she needs to know
How do you teach a child who is friend or foe.
How do you teach a child that the world is not all bad
How do you teach a child that the world is not all sad.
How do you teach a child of the good that people do
How do you teach a child what is or isn`t true.
How do you teach a child that life`s not full of care
How do you teach a child the sun is shining way up there.
How do you teach a child not to let things get her down
How do you teach a child to wear a smile and not a frown.
How do you teach a child to say just what she feels
How do you teach a child what is or isn`t real.
How do you teach a child in this grown up world she`s in
How do you teach a child that not all people sin.
How do you teach a child when life seems so unfair
How do you teach a child there are people who do care.
How do you teach a child what only time can show
How do you teach a child I`d really like to know.
How do you teach a child there is nothing to fear but fear
How do you teach a child how do you make her hear.
How do you teach a child to enjoy being young and free
How do you teach a child when you`re to blind to see.
How do you teach a child what`s just around the bend
How do you teach a child when you don`t know my friend.
How do you teach a child that you reap just what you sow
Can you teach a child, I can`t for I don`t know.
