[Intro] Sometimes we’re excited, sometimes full of energy, But we can still be kind and respectful — let’s see! [Verse 1] When I’m feeling happy, when I want to play, I remember something important every day. My body is my own, and yours is too, So I stop and think before I do. I see my friends right next to me, We’re learning how to be respectful, you see. No pushing, grabbing, or holding tight, We keep our hands in a way that’s right. [Pre-Chorus] I take a breath, I look around, I keep my feet and hands on the ground. Being kind is what I choose, I show respect the way I move. [Chorus] Hands to myself, yes that’s the rule, At home, at play, at school. I can smile, wave, or say hello, I keep my space and let others know. Hands to myself, I’m doing my part, Respecting bodies, respecting hearts. [Verse 2] When I’m standing in line, when I’m feeling bored, I remember the promise I’ve stored. I don’t poke, pull, or crowd too near, I give my friends their space right here. If I want a hug or want to play, I ask with words in a kind way. “Yes” means yes, “no” means stop, Listening matters — every drop. [Pre-Chorus] I pause and think before I act, Respect is something I practice, in fact. Strong choices help me grow, I show respect everywhere I go. [Chorus] Hands to myself, yes that’s the rule, At home, at play, at school. I can clap, dance, sing along, I keep my body safe and strong. Hands to myself, I understand, Being respectful helps us all be friends. [Bridge] If I feel mad or feel too full, I squeeze my hands, I stay cool. Count to three or take a breath, Calm my body, do my best. [Verse 3] On the playground, on the floor, I remember what my hands are for. High-fives only when it’s okay, Respecting space the whole day. Teachers smile, friends feel safe, When we all make thoughtful space. Little choices, big respect, That’s the lesson we protect. [Final Chorus] Hands to myself, every day, I choose respect in what I say. I keep my space, I show I care, I’m kind with my body everywhere. Hands to myself, proud and true, I respect me — and I respect you. [Outro] Great job showing respect today! Hands to myself — hooray!
