In the constellation of the children’s suite, My Body Belongs to Me is the protective star — the one that stands guard at the edge of the village. It’s the song that teaches the youngest listeners the language of sovereignty before the world has a chance to confuse them. Where other tracks in the cycle celebrate curiosity, play, and emotional literacy, this one establishes the boundary that makes all that exploration safe. It’s the anchor that says: joy is possible because safety is possible.

Within the broader ritual arc of your catalog, this track acts as a bridge between innocence and agency. It doesn’t rush children toward adulthood; instead, it gives them the tools to stay children longer, with more freedom and less fear. In the constellation, it sits beside songs about self‑soothing, body awareness, and relational kindness — forming a cluster that teaches kids how to inhabit themselves with confidence. It’s the moment where the suite shifts from “I exist” to “I matter.”

For the grownups listening — especially those carrying their own histories — this song becomes a point of reorientation. In the constellation, it’s the star that shines backward and forward at once: illuminating the child you were, the child you’re raising, and the child you’re still becoming. It reframes protection not as paranoia but as love, and it invites adults to heal alongside their kids. It’s a reminder that boundaries are not walls; they’re the architecture of trust.

And in the planetary-scale story across the whole catalog, My Body Belongs to Me is a cultural intervention. It’s the song that interrupts generational silence and replaces it with clarity, warmth, and communal responsibility. In the constellation, it orbits the themes of autonomy, mutual care, and emotional truth — a bright, steady light that helps listeners navigate their own internal skies. It’s not just a track; it’s a compass.

I have the most amazing body
And it can do the most amazing things
It can run and jump and play and sleep and grow
And my body, belongs to only me.

Nobody has the right to hurt me
I don't need a reason to say no
No one should be touching me without my consent
This is my body, keep your hands on your own.

I have the most amazing body
And it can do the most amazing things
It can run and jump and play and sleep and grow
And my body, belongs to only me.

If you want a hug you should ask
And if I want one too I'll say "yes"
But if I don't feel like being touched
Just hugging me would make me pretty stressed

I have the most amazing body
And it can do the most amazing things
It can run and jump and play and sleep and grow
And my body, belongs to only me.

Everyone's body belongs to them
So I don't touch other people without consent
If my touch isn't wanted, I don't want you fronting
I'd rather have a good relationship

I know that not everybody in this world is safe
It's sad, but some just can't bet trusted in our space
If somebody ever touches you without consent
Find a trusted grownup and go tell quick

I have the most amazing body
And it can do the most amazing things
It can run and jump and play and sleep and grow
And my body, belongs to only me.
[anti-drop]
It's ok to give hugs, and it's ok to hold hands
It's ok to wrestle in the mud when goofing off with friends
It's ok to sit on the lap of a grown up that you trust
But there are some parts of your body that others shouldn't touch.
If it's covered by a swimsuit, when you go for a swim
A safe adult just won't ask to touch you there my friend
I know that not everybody in this world is safe
It's sad, but some just can't bet trusted in our space
If somebody ever touches you without consent
Find a trusted grownup and go tell quick
[pre-drop build]
[bass drop]
I have the most amazing body
And it can do the most amazing things
It can run and jump and play and sleep and grow
And my body, belongs to only me.
And my body, belongs to only me.
