Where I’m from,
Footsteps are my language,
The spotlight is my smile,
And the lyrics are the memories,
slowly drifting away.

Where I’m from,
My body tells a story,
My eyes live the song,
And my heart beats the rhythm,
In a never ending pattern.

Where I’m from,
The sunset ends the song,
The footsteps will come to an end,
And my eyes will shut,
But I will always hear the heartbeat playing my favorite song.
