Verse
My mommy, my daddy encourage me to dream
Collecting treasures and money, shells, rocks and sticks and leaves
Every night I dream pushing troubles out of my way
Perseverance is key, just don’t be afraid
—-
Chorus
I’ll keep on
I’ll keep on trying
I’ll keep on
I’ll keep on dreaming
Push my troubles out of the way
Or ask someone for help!
About the Book
Rosie Revere Engineer
By Andrea Beaty
Rosie may seem quiet during the day, but at night she’s a brilliant inventor of gizmos and gadgets who dreams of becoming a great engineer. When her great-great-aunt Rose (Rosie the Riveter) comes for a visit and mentions her one unfinished goal–to fly–Rosie sets to work building a contraption to make her aunt’s dream come true. But when her contraption doesn’t fl y but rather hovers for a moment and then crashes, Rosie deems the invention a failure. On the contrary, Aunt Rose inisists that Rosie’s contraption was a raging success. You can only truly fail, she explains, if you quit.
