Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Through screens of static, fingers drift alone
Searching for the path that keyboard users know
Two point four point seven guides the way
A glowing outline shows where we can stay
In dreamy interfaces, floating free
The focus indicator lets us see
Where our next action waits to unfold
A story that the guidelines told
CHORUS:
Can you see where the focus goes?
Through the haze, a border glows
Every element needs to shine
When keyboard navigation’s mine
Lost without that visual sign
Two point four point seven, divine
VERSE 2:
Some browsers hide it, some make it clear
But authors must ensure it will appear
For those with memory that fades away
Or attention that begins to stray
A vertical bar in text fields bright
Or borders wrapped in ambient light
No time limits on this gentle gleam
Focus visible, like a dream
CHORUS:
Can you see where the focus goes?
Through the haze, a border glows
Every element needs to shine
When keyboard navigation’s mine
Lost without that visual sign
Two point four point seven, divine
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
Don’t let scripts remove the glow
Don’t hide what users need to know
Through reverb walls and feedback streams
Accessibility fulfills our dreams
The focus indicator stays
Guiding through the interface maze
