  • One of the state songs of Florida, The Sunshine State.
    Lyrics in English:
    Florida, where the sawgrass meets the sky,
    Florida, where our hearts will ever lie,
    Sitting proud in the ocean like a sentinel true,
    Always shielding your own, yet giving welcome.
    Florida, land of flowers, land of light.
    Florida, where our dreams can all take flight.
    Whether youth's vibrant morning or the twilight of years,
    There are treasures for all who venture here in Florida.
    Mockingbirds cry and 'gators lie out in the sun,
    Bridges span southward to the Keys and rockets skyward run,
    The orange blossoms' sweet perfume and fireworks fill the air,
    And cultures rich our native people share.
    Florida, where the sawgrass meets the sky,
    Florida, where our hearts will ever lie,
    Sitting proud in the ocean like a sentinel true,
    Always shielding your own, yet giving welcome.
    Florida, land of flowers, land of light.
    Florida, where our dreams can all take flight.
    Whether youth's vibrant morning or the twilight of years,
    There are treasures for all who venture here in Florida, Florida.

    I like "Suwanee River" but this is growing on me. "Florida where our dreams take flight" makes a nod only to Kennedy Space Center but also the birthplace of commercial aviation. The first (heavier than air) commercial flight was from St. Petersburg to Tampa, using a two seater Benoist Airplane. A model of this airplane can be found in the terminal of the St. Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport (PIE/KPIE.) Also, the Tony Janus Awards (Awards given to Commercial Airlines thought the world) are hosted in St. Petersburg and Tampa.

      I am from Florida, and there are a lot of hurricanes. There aren't too many alligators super close to where a lot of people live, but it is close to Miami. As a Floridian, the nearest sinkhole to me was a drive of a few hours away, which is not too bad. I've never seen a Florida Man anywhere too often, but there were a few cases. I agree with the hurricane state title, though. A lot of hurricanes might come during the hurricane season but when the dry season comes, there usually is a huge rain event for the transition, but during the dry season there isn't much rain at all. Also, I would like everyone to know that Florida isn't just the beaches and theme parks, even though they're great, that isn't all what Florida has to offer. I live in a smaller area close to a bigger area in Florida, let's just say as I do not want to give out my location information, but I feel that my town is really nice even though it is not as big as the area around me is.
