Mr. Roger’s Beauty Tips

Be a good neighbor, stop watching TV
Play the piano, let a butterfly free
Reach for the sky, ask why it is blue
Be true to your heart, and to other one’s too
Care for the ground, it holds you up everyday
Find the good all around
Go to a school where it feels like play

The best way to learn is by being wrong
So, hold your head high and be strong
Cause it’s true that I like you too
Just the way you are

Make friends with a book, try out for the team
Plant a potato, ya, go for a dream
Know that it’s hard, but you’re never alone
And if you ever get mad, try to temper that tone
It’s OK to be shy, though one day you’ll reminisce
Of a subtle reply that was a call for your first kiss

The best way to learn is by being wrong
So, hold your head high and be strong

Let’s make it a sea change
I final turn of the tide
In just one generation
It’s up to us to decide
So many miles and so many roads
Running in circles with our heavy loads
What if we could stop just to smell the air
Show to our children how we really care

The best way to learn is by being wrong
So, hold your head high and be strong
And sing this Mr. Roger’s sing-along
Cause it’s true that I like you too
Just the way you are

Teach your children well
Teach your children well
