35. Quote a song lyric that sums up 2008.
(chorus)I know we’ve come so far,
but we’ve got so far to go.
I know the road seems long,
but it won’t be long ‘til it’s time to go.
So Most days we’ll take it fast,
but some nights we’ll take it slow.
I know we’ve come so far, but baby!
Baby! We’ve got so far to go!
Hey, your friends are together,
side by side and year by year!
The road was filled with twists and turns.
Oh, but that’s the road that got us here.
Let’s move past the bad times.
But before those memories fade…
Let’s forgive, but not forget the love from all the mistakes we made.
Cuz it’s so clear!
Every year, we get stronger.
So don’t give up and don’t say when.
And just get back on the road again cuz. .. (
chorus)
