I'm from a place everyone knows
Where there is nothing to do on a saturday night

I'm from a place everyone sees
where everyone knows everyone

I'm from a place everyone feels
where the trails are overgrown and rocky

I'm from a place everyone hears
Where the food market is a meeting place

I'm from a place everyone smells
Where everyone gathers under lights on friday nights

I'm from a place everyone passes
where the teachers are parents of students

I'm from a place everyone goes through
where tragedy affects everyone

I'm from a place everyone knows
Suburbia
It's not much but it's where i'm from

You&#039;ve gotta take the good with the bad, smile when you&#039;re sad, love what you got and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong but always remember life goes on
