The Character Rap
by Barbara Gruener

Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility,
won't you try The Character Rap with me?
Fairness, Caring, Citizenship, too.
Do you listen to your conscience when it tells you what to do?

Can you be trusted? Do you have integrity?
If I give you respect, will you give it back to me?
Do you always pursue excellence in everything you do?
'Cause character counts and it starts with you.

Do you weigh things out? Are you judging fair?
Are you thinking with your heart and showing kindness everywhere?
Do you go to vote? On committees do you serve?
Do you volunteer to do you part? Recycle to conserve?

Trustworthiness, Respect, and Responsibility,
Your character counts, that's plain to see.
Fairness, Caring, Citizenship, too.
Know it, love it, do it, now it's up to you!
