the challenge is tough, and I'm doing ok i have all i need to do it my way and when it's all done, I think they'll say that everything is alright but if you were here, I'd be better if you were here, everything would be clearer side by side all through the day side by side all through the night if you were here what you do best i can only begin what i start, you can take to the end and together we can do it all again and again and everything will be the best so if you were here, I'd be better if you were here, everything would be clearer side by side all through the day side by side all through the night if you were here This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
