Lyrics[]

We're kids for character
Here we stand, we're unified
Side by side
Let's get together while we can
Come on and take a stand for character
Arm in arm, all across the land
Hand in hand,
The future is ours
We are kids for character
You hold the key
To make the world a better place to be
Let others know that you care
Show respect to those around you
Be courteous and be polite
Appreciate your friends for who they are.
We're kids for character
Here we stand, we're unified
Side by side
Let's get together while we can
Come on and take a stand for character
Arm in arm, all across the land
Hand in hand,
The future is ours
We are kids for character
It's up to you
To accept responsibility
In all the things you say and do
Just to fess up when you mess up
Walk your talk, it shows integrity
Be trusted by your friends
And you will be...
A kid for character
Here we stand, we're unified
Side by side
Let's get together while we can
Come on and take a stand for character
Arm in arm, all across the land
Hand in hand,
The future is ours
We are kids for character
You've got to keep an open mind
When you are listening
Show fairness
In all the things you do
And if you do your part:
Obey the rules, respect authority
A good citizen is what you'll be.
We're kids for character
Here we stand, we're unified
Side by side
Let's get together while we can
Come on and take a stand for character
Arm in arm, all across the land
Hand in hand,
The future is ours
We are kids for character
We're kids for character
Here we stand, we're unified
Side by side
Let's get together while we can
Come on and take a stand for character
Arm in arm, all across the land
Hand in hand,
The future is yours
Be a kid for character
'Cause character counts!
The future is yours
Be a kid for character
'Cause character counts!
The future is yours
Be a kid for character

Trivia[]

  • This is the only original song not affiliated with the Thomas & Friends franchise.
  • The same life-sized Thomas replica was also used during United States President Bill Clinton’s inauguration in 1993 alongside characters from other PBS shows, including Sesame Street, Barney & Friends and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. It was later used for the Thomas and the Magic Railroad Sweepstakes Nick Jr. held in the United States.
  • Around the time the Kids for Character video was made, Shining Time Station was still airing on PBS through reruns. Some of the characters featured in the video were stars from other PBS programmes that aired around the same time, including The Puzzle Place, Barney & Friends, The Magic School Bus and Lamb Chop's Play-Along.
