Lament Lyrics - Singles - Bernadette Peters

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
