I come from sunny Sundays
From the ring and ding of church bells.
I come from the field behind the house
The heat of the sun on your back.
I come from the cucumber garden
From the sting of the thorns.
            
I am from a family divided
from Warren and Royal Oak.
I am from rich and poor
From the hard working and the working hard.
I am from short and tall
The north and south.

Where I come from
I am in the middle.
Where I come from
I am loved.
I come from my parents.
