Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little ones ran in
With wide-eyed news
“Who ate the pie?”
“Why socks got two?”
They told on Cousin Ray
He stole my seat
Then asked the pastor
“Can God skip sleep?”
Mama said, “Baby
Bring it to the light”
We laughed till the pews
Started shaking right
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, they talk so bold
With that honest fire
One minute they tattlin’
Next minute, inspire
[Chorus]
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
Lord, they ask so much
But they mean no harm
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
Heard it in the hall
Now it’s goin’ in my song
[Verse 2]
“Why the moon so round?”
“Who tucked the stars?”
“Why Grandpa snore
Like a rusty car?”
“Can fish go home
When the river dry?”
“Why the chicken run
When the thunder cry?”
And little Miss June
With her candy grin
Said, “I saw Deacon Joe
Take the long way in”
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, they know too much
And they know too little
They drop them truth bombs
Right in the middle
[Chorus]
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
Lord, they ask so much
But they mean no harm
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
Heard it in the hall
Now it’s goin’ in my song
[Bridge]
I thank You for the mouths
That won’t stay shut
For the tiny hearts
With the brave stuff
They’ll tell on the cake
They’ll tell on the chair
They’ll tell on the secret
Floating in the air
And if they ask me
“Why we gotta pray?”
I’ll say, “Keep on askin’
You’ll find the way”
[Final Chorus]
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
Lord, they ask so much
But they mean no harm
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
What did the children say? (Tell it!)
Heard it in the hall
Now it’s goin’ in my song
(Tell it!)
(Tell it!)
Heard it in the hall
Now it’s goin’ in my song
