Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Click the red button on the right, they say
But what if colors fade away?
The round icon below, that’s where to go
But screen readers can’t see the show
One point three point three reminds us all
Instructions need more than a visual call
Don’t just point to shapes or where things lie
Give every user wings to fly

CHORUS:
More than meets the eye, that’s what we need
Names and labels help us all succeed
Not just “click the circle” or “find the blue”
Say “Next button” – make it clear and true
More than meets the eye, accessibility
When instructions work for you and me

VERSE 2:
That diamond shape might look so clear
But blind users need more than “over here”
Instead of “press the arrow on the right”
Say “select Next” – now that’s getting it right
One point three point three, it sets us free
From barriers we might not even see
Color, size, and where things are placed
Add the names so nothing goes to waste

CHORUS:
More than meets the eye, that’s what we need
Names and labels help us all succeed
Not just “click the circle” or “find the blue”
Say “Next button” – make it clear and true
More than meets the eye, accessibility
When instructions work for you and me

BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
Visual cues can still be there
Just add the text to show you care
“Green arrow labeled Next below”
Now everyone knows which way to go
One point three point three, the golden key
Instructions that work universally
