Be Kind To the Growing Mind

Watch what you say You gotta speak with a little more discipline Our little brothers and sisters are listening There's a subtler way That you can say any idea you want to express You can tell them of love Without every detail And let life and time do the rest Some don't know the meaning Of everything you say But they repeat you anyway So you gotta be kind to the growing mind Said you gotta be kind to the growing mind Watch what you do Think of the future people You may be creating Our little brothers and sisters are imitating You're a who's who - they wanna be like you So set a positive example Life is a pie you don't eat all at once Every now and then you taste another sample Soon enough they start to find out What it's all about So we gotta be kind to the growing mind Say we gotta be kind to the growing mind Think about it, everybody Watch what you say You gotta watch what you say and what you do Our little brothers and sisters look up to you Now you can be sexy - it's alright especially When it's done at the right time and place Try to remember that a young mind Is a terrible thing to waste Let us remember it's up to you and me It's our responsibility Yeah!
