The Language of Song

Song used: Paradise by Coldplay

Song lyrics English and Spanish: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/paradise-paraiso.html

There was once a young girl who was constantly moving. Her parents weren't making enough and had to travel from place to place looking for work that provided them with the amount of money that they needed. Every time she felt settled in and comfortable at their new home, they had to move again. It got to the point where she didn't want to get close to people anymore because she knew that would make it that much harder when it was time to say goodbye. 

She dreamed of a life where she could do the things everyone else did. She was sick of moving around and being the new kid at school that everyone judges and criticize. Any time she got bored in class or had free time on our hands she'd close her eyes and disappear into her fantasy world. In this world she imagined what it would be like to go to the same school for longer then a year. She imagined what it would be like having real friends that she could have long term relationships with. 

Eventually, when she reached 10th grade her parents finally landed solid jobs. They told her it was almost a guarantee that they would stay there. For the next 3 years she enjoyed the company of friends and being close to someone her age for once. Her fantasy world, or paradise, had finally become real.
