Summer

Lyrics by Sasha

Have a little
Have a little freedom
Have a little summertime
Have a little no study
No homework

Sometimes it gets boring
So that's why you have to step up
Get a vacation
Get a vacation
Get a, get a vacation
Gotta get a vacation

Cause you need a little free time
Cause you always study
You need a little free time
And you need a little time to yourself
Cause you are kid

Cause you need a little time from studying
So summer's the way to
Give a little time to yourself
Always you got to believe
Believe you can step up
You can play the opposites

You gotta need a little time to yourself
104 days of summer
You gotta make a new day
You gotta make a new day
Yeah

Home

Nothing special is going on here. I'm thinking of places to go: Moscow, church, park, Finland. Not much going on here.

School

I've learned a lot in school: geography, science, computers, dance, music, math. We are practicing for a Stepping Up ceremony for the end of school year. And we are practicing a dance that is called "The Merry Old Land of Oz".
