Respeitar

In school they always say
How important it is to respect
What a weird word
I want to understand what it means

So I asked the owl
If she knew what respect was
And she said
Saying sorry, please, and thank you
Treating friends well and listening to your parents
All of that is respect

Respecting myself
Respecting others
Respecting nature
Learning to respect

Respecting myself
Respecting others
Respecting my friends
All of that, I want to respect

Sharing my toys
Then putting everything away
Smiling at everyone
Respecting the elders
Is also respect

Exercising
And always eating well
Recycling what you have
Taking care of a bird's nest
Taking care of the coral reefs and the sea

Respecting myself
Respecting others
Respecting nature
Learning to respect

Respecting myself
Respecting others
Respecting my friends
All of that, I want to respect

Your school is right
Said the owl
It's important to respect!
