Tread your steps carefully For the ground can twist and turn
Tread your steps carefully For the ground may twist and turn Choose your friends wisely For just when you think you know someone They could abandon you with scorn Oh little one
Your mother will hold you in her arms Your father will teach you his dignity and shun
Welcome to planet hate, to this emotion that I berate Yet some people force me to feed my violent seed What have we become, the damage remains and cannot be undone Oh little one Your brother may stab you in the back and laugh Your sister will love you unconditionally as all love should be
What have we become, the damage remains and cannot be undone
Stare into the sky with newborn perfect eyes oh little one enjoy your time There will be heartache there will be rain and joy I can't explain My precious little one explore your time
Your mother will hold you in her arms Your father will teach you his dignity and shun
