The Land Before Time - The Lesson текст песни

MR. THICKNOSE:
You know, Littlefoot, I never intended to become such a fibber.
It just...happened.
When I was young, I was very shy
Never seen or heard
But when wanders told of the Great Beyond,
I remembered every word
As I grew older, I told these stories
As I had to live them too
In everyone's eyes, I was good, I was wise
To everyone, but you
That is why I had such a hard time with you, Littlefoot. You're so curious, so bright. You ask good questions. I was afraid that I would catch a lie within a secret.

LITTLEFOOT:
Rob you with your dignity?

MR. THICKNOSE:
Yes, I suppose so. You see,
Everyone wants to be important
Everyone wants to be heard
Everyone wants to be the center of the circle
Where friends are hanging on your every word
No matter how close you are to an egg
Or how old you grow to be
Everybody needs somebody to listen
Even somebody like me

LITTLEFOOT:
Everyone wants to be respected

PETRIE:
Everyone wants to be liked

MR. THICKNOSE:
Whether you've got three horns on your head

CERA:

Or a beak that's sharp

DUCKY:
Or a tail that's spiked

MR. THICKNOSE:
When you want to be more fascinating
You might say things that aren't quite true
Everyone's tempted to fib sometimes

LITTLEFOOT:
Even someone good like you

ALL:
We want folks to admire us
We want someone to care

LITTLEFOOT:
We want to make a difference

CERA:
And to know that others know we're there

MR. THICKNOSE:
But everyone has their own importance
That's what I've come to see
Everyone has their own special place

PETRIE:
In the nest

CERA:
In the herd

LITTLEFOOT:
In the family

MR. THICKNOSE:
Respect's not a thing
You can make someone give you
It's something you have to earn
Who would've thought
After all this time
There were more things I had to learn

And thank you all for teaching me.

You're never too old to learn
