Songs for safety and speaking up
No Secrets from Mom and Dad
Our hit body-safety song, built on one clear rule: never keep a secret from Mom and Dad. Children learn to tell right away and name the person, even when it's someone they know, it's called a special game, or they're worried about getting someone in trouble.

When something feels confusing or someone tells you to keep a secret
You must tell your parents right away
Your parents keep you safe
And they always need to know
I never keep a secret from my mom and from my dad
They love me and protect me and I know they won't be mad
If someone whispers, "keep it quiet and don't tell anyone"
I go straight to my mom and dad and tell them what was done
I never ever ever ever keep secrets in my heart
If someone tells me not to tell I tell my mom and dad
My parents always love me and they've loved me from the start
So secrets never stay with me they go straight to mom and dad
Sometimes it feels so hard to tell what someone's said or done
Cause I don't want them in trouble or to hurt anyone
But keeping secrets isn't safe no matter what they say
So I always tell my parents and they help me right away
I never ever ever ever keep secrets in my heart
If someone tells me not to tell I tell my mom and dad
My parents always love me and they've loved me from the start
So secrets never stay with me they go straight to mom and dad
Even when something feels confusing or it feels a little fun
I still make sure to tell my mom and dad just what was done
I won't ever be in trouble for telling what I know
Because they won't think bad of me because they always love me so
I never ever ever ever keep secrets in my heart
If someone tells me not to tell I tell my mom and dad
My parents always love me and they've loved me from the start
So secrets never stay with me they go straight to mom and dad
Even if they call it special or they say it's just our game
I still tell my mom and dad and say the person's name
Even if it's someone that I see most every day
I still tell my mom and dad so they help right away
You're loved you're safe and you must always speak up!
