I sing of my life in Illinois.
     ...of white winters, burning snow
     swallowed by the summer sun.
     ...of friends and family together.
     I stand outside and look back now.
I sing of carelessness, relaxation, and relief.
     My peaceful world.
     ...of feeling comfortable, in my place,
     no worry of being rejected
     or losing lifelong companions
I sing of abrupt change.
     ...of being pulled out of my fantasy world.
     For my life was headed towards wrong -
     but my eyes didn't see.
I sing of my thankfulness; my parents saw.
     They brought me to this place.
     A place where even I worry
     ...of losing friends for lack of history.
     I know now I never belonged there.
A new song plays in the distance
     singing of high school memories
     and happiness inside
     That song is entitled "Song of Florida"
     with melodies of my new life.
