So U. 3-4 "Origin"

I am from the east
From the land of the rising sun
 
I am from the education
Doing boring drills endlessly
 
I am from my heroes
Who I imitated
And dreamt of being
 
I am from the water 
Stinging with the smell of chlorine
 
I am from the backyard
Playing new games
Where language was not a factor
 
I am from the "Cry baby"
Or the "Starving Beast" 
 
I am from the ballpark
From the Cotton Candy
From mascots
And the seventh inning
 
I am from the sounds
From school concerts to  
The Applauses from the crowd 
 
I am from the expeditions
During which I saw the world
From the cities of New York  
To the startling grand canyon 
 
I am from the beach
Where sand sticks on the wet feet
Where the ocean spreads across the horizon
 
I am from the challenge
From the snow
From the Green
From the pool
 From the road
 
I am from the people
From Friends
And From my Family
