Rose's Song from Kid Operas by Margo Lauritzen

One: I showed up at the factory gates
Two: I went to work to make my country great
Three: I polished steel to make the engine shine
Four: I learned precision on the assembly line
Five: I punched rivets into airplane shells
Six: I did my job and I did it well
Seven: I welded tubes for the fuselage
Eight: I drafted plans for counter espionage
Nine: Us girls, they praised, for helping win the war
Ten: We proved that women can do so much more

But my one regret is staying on the ground
when I wished to fly all around
My name is Rose, but I never rose up into the sky,
my only dream left then is to fly
