Watch
what you say
You gotta speak with a little more discipline
Our little brothers and sisters are listening
There's a certain 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 If 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
Said we gotta be kind to the growing mind
Think about 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,
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, we gotta be kind to the growing mind
Your little brothers and sisters need to be kind to the growing mind
You and me
gotta be kind to the growing mind
Temptations tearin' down,
oh, to the growing mind
We gotta be kind to the growing mind Oh,
we gotta be kind to the growing mind
