  • Be careful little eyes what you see
    It's the second glance that ties your hands
    As darkness pulls the strings
    Be careful little feet where you go
    For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

    It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
    It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray
    And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
    When you give yourself away
    People never crumble in a day
    It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

    Be careful little ears what you hear
    When flattering leads to compromises, the end is always near
    Be careful little lips what you say
    For empty words and promises leave broken hearts astray

    It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
    It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray
    And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
    When you give yourself away
    People never crumble in a day
    It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

    The journey from your mind to your hands
    Is shorter than you're thinking
    Be careful if you think you stand
    You just might be sinking

    It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
    It's a slow fade when black and white are turned to gray
    And thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
    When you give yourself away

    People never crumble in a day
    Daddies never crumble in a day
    Families never crumble in a day

    Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
    Oh, be careful little eyes what you see
    For the Father up above is looking down in love
    Oh, be careful little eyes what you see Writer/s: JOHN MARK HALL
