We're saying goodbye... to the bestest of friends...
since our sixth grade class and now its come to this day.
We will miss you so. Smiles, faces and such.
It's been a great year of having your class as school leaders.
(Repeat)

Chorus:
To the class of 2008...Jerramon from our seventh grade.
Co-op School, it won't be the same without you.
Through the good and bad we got along.
There were times of ups and times of downs.
There were times of smiles and times of frowns back in the days.

And now we're here. We gathered today.
For one of the special days that's on this month of May.
May God bless you! and your family too!
Good luck through all your days.
From all of us here on this special day.

2007: Class Song
Lyrics and Music by Gold Wase
Download in mp3 [4.6 MB]

We started in Coop School
But now it's ending soon.
Worked with one another,
Like sisters and brothers.
Met and became friends,
Like a song that never ends.
But now we're in eighth grade,
It's time to graduate.
We know it's gonna be hard
But that's what life's about.
Things always change and we know because it's pain.
For the good times and the bad…
Happy and we're sad.
All I know is we'll remember the times when we're together…ooh

Chorus

Remember when we used to cry when one would say good-bye.
Remember when we used to sing, doing our music thing.
Remember when we used to laugh, our days would never last…
So give your attention…to the class of 2007.

For the cute and gentle smiles
And the fashion unique styles…
Truly amazed…a feeling hard to erase.
Going in separate ways
Don't worry, we'll meet someday.
We know this is something new,
Don't be scared 'cause there'll be clues.
We know it's gonna be hard
But that's what life's about
Things always change and we know because it's pain
For the good times and the bad
Happy and were sad
All we know is we'll remember the times when we were together… oooh

Back to chorus

Juon in ien, Jaikuj in monono
Juon in ien, Jaikuj in jibwe bein doon
Juon in ien, Jaikuj lale doon
Konke ta? Kojaan juon.
