Where I'm From

Where I’m From

~ Janice Wright

Where I’m from…

Palm trees

Beautiful beaches

Reggae music blaring

Smoking weed and swearing

Where I'm from…

Poverty and pain

Murderers on the rampage

People don’t abstain

Babies fall like rain

Where I’m from…

Politics causes pain

Economics drains pockets

There is no will to stop it

Only the wealthy really profit

Where I’m from…

Children learn

Through struggles to turn

Bad into good, good into great

Education is first rate

Where I’m from…

Culture is popping

Music, food, dancing and singing

Our athletes always bringing

Medals galore from near and far

We are proud of who we are

Where I’m from…

Faith and family

Living and loving

Led by the Word

Family is important

Jesus is Lord
