What Do You Do with the Words You Say?

#### Verse 1: Establishing Ethos In a world where children grow and play, A gentle man, with much to say, He stood with purpose, calm and clear, For every child's right to cheer. In the quiet of the Senate hall, He spoke for one and he spoke for all, With a heart so pure, and vision wide, He showed the light on the other side. #### Chorus: Emotional Appeal (Pathos) What do you do with the words you say? Can they light up a child's dark day? With kindness, hope, and a gentle way, Building futures with each word we say. What do you do with the dreams you share? Can they show a child that we care? With love and truth in every phrase, Guiding young lives through their days. #### Verse 2: Logical Arguments (Logos) Programs that help them understand, A world that's big and sometimes grand, Teaching feelings, right from wrong, Through stories, music, and a song. With reason clear, and logic bright, He fought for funding, a vital light, Explaining how these shows impart, Lessons that grow within the heart. #### Bridge: The Persuasive Moment In a room so stern and cold, A simple song of feelings told, "What do you do with the mad you feel?" Words that made the doubters yield. The senator, with heart of stone, Was moved by truth in gentle tone, A change was sparked, a cause embraced, By the warmth of Rogers' grace. #### Final Chorus: Call to Action What do you do with the words you say? Can they light up a child's dark day? With kindness, hope, and a gentle way, Building futures with each word we say. What do you do with the dreams you share? Can they show a child that we care? With love and truth in every phrase, Guiding young lives through their days. #### Verse 3: Sustained Impact So every child can grow and learn, A brighter future, each must earn, Through shows that teach and hearts that guide, With Rogers' spirit by their side. In classrooms, homes, and streets so wide, His lessons live, and hearts confide, That with each kind word we bestow, We help the world's young spirits grow. #### Outro: Reflection and Hope So let our voices join as one, For every child under the sun, With words of love and wisdom shared, Showing each one that we care. And as the years and decades pass, His legacy will ever last, A testament to what is right, A beacon shining in the night. ### Refrain (Echoing Chorus) What do you do with the words you say? Can they light up a child's dark day? With kindness, hope, and a gentle way, Building futures with each word we say. What do you do with the dreams you share? Can they show a child that we care? With love and truth in every phrase, Guiding young lives through their days.
