Try, Try Again
Tom Gardner

 Listen to this song.

This song is available on Songs for Schools: Positive Choices.

 

If you fall down get up and try again
  if you get it all wrong just try again
  a parent will help you and so will a friend
  whatever you do try try again

if you want to tie your shoes but can't make a knot
and every time you try the laces go flop
your fingers are tired and you want to quit
but you keep tryin and you'll get it

you want to build of model of a fire truck
but the glue spills over, your fingers get stuck
you don't want to finish cause you're not having fun
but just keep at it and it will get done

your friend skips rope forever it seems
but you keep tripping and ripping your jeans
you get all tangled up and you want to rest
but if you keep jumping you could be the best

Now you're rolling a snowball for the snowman's head
you put it on top but it crumbles instead
your hands are cold and you want to stop
but Mr. Snowman needs a head on top
