I'm Watching You

Teach me compassion
I'm watching you.
I'll learn compassion from the things that you do
Teach me forgiveness
I'm watching you
I'll learn forgiveness from the things that you do

[chorus]
TV will talk, preachers will preach
books will inspire, teachers will teach
but you are the sculptor and I am the clay
What will you do?
What will you say?

Teach me all children in every land
are somebody's angel just as I am
and living in peace is the right of my birth
and the right of all children living on earth

[chorus]

Teach me to look through eyes filled with tears
and reach for the light when the world's dark with fears
and teach me no matter who's singing the song
loving is righteous and hating is wrong

[chorus]

I'm watching you every day.
What will you do?
What will you say?
