Flourishing in Florida

A whimsical journey from English farmlands to Florida’s digital frontier – one creator’s musical tale of transformation, website building, and finding freedom in unexpected places.

LYRICS

[Verse]
I left England, back in ’80,
Farm life, cows, and sheep.
Florida was quite a facing,
I was in quite deep.
Eighteen and full of hope,
A little on the shy side.
I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
I was looking for a guide.
[Chorus]
Now I’m flourishing in Florida,
Yes, some might say…
If they knew the real truth,
They’d probably say, “No way.”
[Bridge]
From graphic arts to websites,
A natural progression?
My life is going good,
I’m in the right profession.
[Bridge]
I make websites fast and furious…
For all those out there website-curious,
You really ought to try… SBI.
[Chorus]
And now I’m flourishing in Florida,
Yes, some might say…
If they knew the real truth,
They’d probably say, “OK.”
[Bridge]
Writing blog posts,
Creating images.
Writing songs,
Hidden messages.
Freedom. Freedom!
Doing what I please.
Freedom. Freedom!
I keep going, never cease.
Life’s a journey, stay on course,
Find your lucky horse.
[Bridge]
No crystal ball is worth a look,
Every chance that came, I took.
[Chorus]
Flourishing in Florida,
Life is such a whirl.
If they knew the real truth,
They’d all say, “You go girl.”
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
And now I’m flourishing in Florida,
Yes, some might say…
If they knew the real truth,
They’d probably say, “OK.”
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Doing what I please.
Freedom. Freedom!
I keep going, never cease.
Life’s a journey, stay on course,
Find your lucky horse.
[Bridge]
No crystal ball is worth a look,
Every chance that came, I took.
[Chorus]
Flourishing in Florida,
Life is such a whirl.
If they knew the real truth,
They’d all say, “You go girl.”
[Instrumental Outro]
