We the Digital Citizens
Lyrics by Leigh Hallisey & Common Sense Education
We, the Digital Citizens With our hands up in the air Pledge to travel safely When we click from here to there If you want to see the world You don’t always need a plane A giant yellow school bus Or a noisy train You just need the internet And something with a screen To see a different country Or a pretty ocean scene If you’ve never seen a sloth Or a pic of Auntie Sue Just go online and check them out Remember what to do Always ask a grown-up Before you go online It’s good to set a limit And keep track of your time Keep your info private Like your name and your address And always find a grown-up If you’re scared or you’re stressed If you want to see the world You don’t always need a plane A giant yellow school bus Or a noisy train |
You just need the internet
And something with a screen To play an awesome puzzle game Or watch a soccer team! So go online and check them out remember what to do, to do, to do, to do Always pause and think When visiting a site Only talk to friends you know And never start a fight It’s fun to have a screen, To laugh and play with friends But if it’s nice, go outside And find the rainbow’s end! If you want to see the world You don’t always need a plane A giant yellow school bus Or a noisy train You just need the internet And something with a screen To be a part of something GREAT! Whatever you can DREAM! Remember that you took this pledge To be your BEST online So stick with the Dig Citizens And together you will shine! |
