Mamas and Papas

Mamas and Papas
Be nice, be nice
Before you lay your hands on your children
Think twice, think twice

Oh we're little but we're wise
Just might know more than you
Mamas and Pa's listen to your little ones
You could learn something, too

Sisters and brothers
Take care, take care
Be there for each other
Be there, be there

Only you know how
To deal with the fall
Growing together
And seeing it all

Talk to each other
It's all right to recall
How Mamas and Papas
Sometimes drop the ball

Mamas and Papas
Be nice, be nice
While you dream you dreams for them
Think twice
For the day they find your words
Don't ring true
The choices they made
A reflection on you
One day you don't know them
And it's gnawing you through

What did you do
What did you do
Shouldn't you have said
More important to have won

Mamas and Papas
Be strong, be strong
Be there for each other
Shouldn't you have said

Shouldn't you, shouldn't you have said
Couldn't you have done
Now it's begun, now it's begun, now it's begun.

END
