Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah clicks her screen reader on, navigating through the corporate site
But the buttons have no labels, images speak silence in the night
The dropdown menus vanish when she tries to reach them with her keys
While color-only warnings lock her out, ignore her expertise

[Chorus]
A-D-A says make it clear
A-O-D-A says everyone's here
E-A-A across the sea
W-C-A-G sets us free
Alt text, focus states, contrast bright
Keyboard paths and structured sight
Build the web for every mind
Leave nobody behind

[Verse 2]
Marcus squints at pale gray text that fades against the white
Ratio four-point-five-to-one would make those words ignite
The heading tags are scattered, h1 then h4 then h2
Screen readers lose their compass when structure's broken through

[Chorus]
A-D-A says make it clear
A-O-D-A says everyone's here
E-A-A across the sea
W-C-A-G sets us free
Alt text, focus states, contrast bright
Keyboard paths and structured sight
Build the web for every mind
Leave nobody behind

[Bridge]
Perceivable content that every sense can grasp
Operable controls within everyone's clasp
Understandable language, patterns that make sense
Robust code that works with every tool's defense

[Verse 3]
Tab through every function, escape from modal traps
Announce the live updates, fill semantic gaps
Test with real assistive tools, not just your assumptions
Digital doors swing open wide, breaking old presumptions

[Chorus]
A-D-A says make it clear
A-O-D-A says everyone's here
E-A-A across the sea
W-C-A-G sets us free
Alt text, focus states, contrast bright
Keyboard paths and structured sight
Build the web for every mind
Leave nobody behind

[Outro]
Code with empathy embedded in each line
Accessibility by design, not just an afterthought divine
Every user deserves the digital world complete
Make inclusion concrete
