What did I clearly say? Children should listen No, no, please! What were you not to do? Childrem must see No!
And learn Why could you not obey? Children should listen. What have I been to you? What would you have me be? Handsome like a prince?
Ah, but I am old I am ugly I embarass you No! You are ashamed of me No! You are ashamed You don't understand It was lonely atop that tower I was not company enough?
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world Don't you know what's out there in the world? Someone has to shield you from the world. Stay with me Princes wait there in the world, it's true Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too Stay at home I am home
Who out there could love you more than I? What out there that I cannot supply? Stay with me Stay with me The world is dark and wild Stay a child while you can be a child With me
