The world is built on subtle cues, The choices that we make, The patterns that we often choose, The risks we dare to take. We look for what will bring us joy, Or push the pain away, The simple tools we all employ, To navigate the day. (Chorus) Behavior flows where rewards stream, A garden that we tend, Within the fabric of the scheme, On which our acts depend. To change the path another walks, Or shape the way they grow, It’s not in how the mentor talks, But in the seeds we sow. We pinpoint what we wish to see, In actions bold and clear, A path to higher liberty, Without the mask of fear. We cast aside the urge to blame, The sting of sharp command, To play a much more patient game, With steady, open hand. (Chorus) Behavior flows where rewards stream, A garden that we tend, Within the fabric of the scheme, On which our acts depend. To change the path another walks, Or shape the way they grow, It’s not in how the mentor talks, But in the seeds we sow. The "sandwich" trick is but a wall, A fleeting, hollow grace, It hides the truth behind it all, And leaves a bitter trace. Instead, we pair our presence bright, With moments earned and true, To make the heavy burdens light, And start the world anew. (Chorus) Behavior flows where rewards stream, A garden that we tend, Within the fabric of the scheme, On which our acts depend. To change the path another walks, Or shape the way they grow, It’s not in how the mentor talks, But in the seeds we sow. If habits bind the ones we love, Or keep them trapped in place, We rise in kindness far above, To set a different pace. We reinforce the better choice, The small and steady gain, And give a new and hopeful voice, To ease the hidden strain. (Chorus) Behavior flows where rewards stream, A garden that we tend, Within the fabric of the scheme, On which our acts depend. To change the path another walks, Or shape the way they grow, It’s not in how the mentor talks, But in the seeds we sow. The architecture of the heart, Is formed by consequence, A masterful and quiet art, With deep intelligence. We cultivate the best in all, With patience as our guide, To answer every noble call, With nothing left to hide. (Chorus) Behavior flows where rewards stream, A garden that we tend, Within the fabric of the scheme, On which our acts depend. To change the path another walks, Or shape the way they grow, It’s not in how the mentor talks, But in the seeds we sow.
