Lyrics, Verse Two

I continue breaking down one of my favorite children’s songs. There’s a lot about truth packed into a few lines of lyrics and, though I perceive it very difficult for a child to learn to be truthful to themselves and others, we might as well start teaching it as young as possible. It’s a shame, however, that long before most kids grow to be thoughtful and true they leave the encouraging lyrics of kids music behind and we hope they continue to follow a parent’s guidance and become the best they can be.
