I come from nowhere and everywhere
I come from the beaches of California to the two highways of Delaware
I come from the big cities of New York and the great outdoors of Hawaii

I am from no one and everyone
I am from athletes and academics
I am from artists and musicians
I am from friends, family and strangers

I am everything and nothing
I am from rabbit food and squirrel food
I am from fruits and vegetables, not from cows and pigs

I am from time lost and time known
I am from watching the planes go by and watching the stars fall
I am from smoked oysters with an old fashioned can opener
I am from the Seven Sisters and Draco the mighty dragon

I am from the past and from the future
I am from career day with the man who changed my life
I am from family reunions and long road trips
I am from the castles in Scotland and the kings in England

I am from dreamers and achievers
I am from "Do unto others as you would have done unto you"
I am from "If you can dream it, you can achieve it"
I am from "Hi and hello"

I come from nowhere and everywhere
I am from no one and everyone
i am from everything and nothing
I am from time lost and time known
I am from the past and from the future
I am from dreamers and achievers
I am me and this is my story.
