I Am From a Small Town
I am from a small town,
where life moves at a gentle pace,
where neighbors lend a hand
and smiles light up each face.
I am a small-town girl,
with dreams that reach the sky;
I want to see the world
and watch the stars up high.
But now I am in the city
and it's a different scene;
the lights are bright and flashing
and people move like machines.
I miss the sound of crickets
and the smell of fresh-cut hay,
but I'll embrace this new adventure
and see where it leads today.
I'll learn to navigate the streets
and make friends along the way;
I'll keep my small-town values
and let them guide me each day.
For though the city may be big
and life may move so fast,
I am a small-town girl at heart
and that's the strength that lasts.
So I'll keep my head up high
and chase my dreams with all my might;
I am from a small town,
the world within my sight.
