My Body's Mine

This is my head, these are my ears
These are my elbows and my knees
This is my sound and my hips
This is my chest, these are my lips
These are my nipples and my feet
My hands, my mouth, this is my seat
My body's private, it's my own
My parts are mine and mine alone

These parts are private, they're only mine
I keep them private all the time
No family, stranger, or friend
Can see or touch them, that's the end

My body is my body, is my body, that's the rule
No matter if it's camp or park or bathroom or school
If someone says, "Shh, keep it a secret," I'll tell the one I trust
Keeping my body private is always a must

If someone breaks a rule, I know
It's not my fault, and I will go
Straight to my grown-up right away
These are the words that I will say

I need to tell you something, and I need your help today
Someone touched my private parts, and that is not okay
No matter who that person is, I'll be sure to say their name
I'll never keep their secret, and I'm never to blame

If one grown-up won't hear what I say
I'll tell another right away
I'll keep on telling someone new
Until they listen and help me too

For washing or for doctor checks, I sometimes need some care
They tell me why and what they'll do before they touch me there
If something feels confusing, I still tell the one I trust
It's only for the care I need, not something meant to last

Even if I go along and say okay
It's never my fault anyway
I'm not in trouble, I'm not to blame
I'll tell my grown-up just the same

My body is my body, is my body, that's the rule
No matter if I'm home, at church, at practice, or at school
If someone says, "Shh, keep it a secret," I'll tell the one I trust
Keeping my body private is always a must
