(Baker) maybe i just wasn't meant to have children
(Wife) don't say that of course you were meant to have children
(Baker)But how will I go about being a father,
when i had no father to show me?
(Wife) Just calm the child.
(Baker) Yes, calm the child.
(Wife) Look, tell him the story of how it all happened.
Be father and mother, you'll know what to do.
(Baker) Alone.
(Wife) Sometimes people leave you
Halfway through the wood.
Do not let it grieve you,
No one leaves for good.
You are not alone.
No one is alone.
Hold him to the light now,
Let him see the glow.
Things will be all right now.
Tell him what you know.
(Baker) Shhh. Once upon a time... in a far-off kingdom,
they lay a village at the edge of the woods
(Witch) Careful the things you say,
(Baker) and in this village
(Witch) Children will listen
(Baker) lived a young maiden
(Witch) Careful the things you do,
(Baker) a carefree young lad
(Witch)Children will see.
(Baker) and a childless baker...
(Witch)And learn.
(Baker) with his wife.
(Witch) Guide them along the way,
Children will glisten.
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.
(Company) 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 the spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you...
(Witch) Careful the tale you tell.
That is the spell.
Children will listen.
