"The Lesson" Songs From The Land Before Time (HQ)

PERFORMED BY: Robert Guillaume/Thomas Dekker/Jeff Bennett/Anndi McAfee/Aria Noelle Curzon WRITTEN BY: Michele Brourman/Amanda McBroom LYRICS: Everyone wants to be important.

Everybody needs somebody to listen. Even somebody like me. Everyone wants to be respected. Everyone wants to be liked. Whether you've got three horns on your head! Or a beak that's sharp. Or a tail that's spiked. When you want to be more fascinating. You might say things that aren't quite true. Everyone's tempted to fib sometimes. Even someone good like you. We want folks to admire us. We want someone to care. We want to make a difference. And to know that others know we're there. But everyone has their own importance. That’s what I've come to see. Everyone has their own special place. In the nest, in the herd, in the family. 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…
