In a world so big and bright
Where adventures take flight
We must take care of ourselves
And listen to those who help

The lifeguard is a friend in need
Who watches out for us indeed
In water deep, they'll guide us right
And keep us safe both day and night

The guard dog is a loyal mate
Who'll warn us if a criminal's late
Their bark is fierce, their teeth are sharp
And they'll protect us with all their heart

The guide dog is a special friend
Who'll lead us through the twists and bends
They'll keep us safe and show the way
And help us through the night and day

Therapy dogs are gentle souls
Who'll help us when we're feeling low
Their natural ways will ease our pain
And lift our spirits up again

Seizures can be scary, we know
But with assistance dogs in tow
We'll have the help we need at hand
And face them bravely, understand

And in the stadium so grand
We'll watch our heroes make a stand
But we must listen to the warn
Of those who keep us safe from harm

So kids, remember this, it's true
There's always help and love for you
From lifeguards to dogs and more
We'll keep you safe forevermore.
