Lyrics
VERSE 1:
There’s a video playing on my screen tonight
But my friend can’t see the images or hear what’s right
Success criterion one point two point eight shows the way
To share every moment in a different display
Not just captions floating by or audio described
But a full text story where nothing can hide
Like reading a novel where each scene unfolds
Every gesture, every sound, every story told
CHORUS:
Give me text that tells it all
Every whisper, every visual call
From the actor’s smile to the thunder’s roar
One point two point eight opens every door
For those who can’t see or hear the show
Text alternatives help the story flow
VERSE 2:
It’s more than just the words the actors say
It’s the sunset colors and the children at play
The laughter off-screen, the car driving past
Every visual detail captured at last
With links for interaction when choices appear
So everyone can participate without fear
Through braille displays the story comes alive
Triple A conformance helps everyone thrive
CHORUS:
Give me text that tells it all
Every whisper, every visual call
From the actor’s smile to the thunder’s roar
One point two point eight opens every door
For those who can’t see or hear the show
Text alternatives help the story flow
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
Read it like a book at your own pace
Every emotion shown on every face
The highest level of access we can provide
Where no one gets left on the outside
One point two point eight, remember the call
Media alternatives include us all
