I Am From a Small Town

I am from a small town where everyone knows my name, where fields stretch on for miles and life is a simple game. I am a small-town girl, with dreams as big as the sky; I want to spread my wings and learn to soar up high. but now I am in the city and everything's so new; I am lost in the hustle-bustle of this world that's not so true. The traffic lights confuse me; red, green, and yellow too; I am not sure where to go or what I am supposed to do; the city girls are different, their clothes, their hair, their ways; they don't understand my country roots and how I've spent my days. I won't let that stop me; I'll learn to find my place and though I miss my small town, I won't forget my roots, my grace. For though I may be lost, and the city may seem big, I'll keep my small-town heart and spread my wings to live.
