- 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.

as a Floridian, I’ve never heard this song a day in my life.
I didn't even know state anthems existed
@@RhubarbEnjoyersame
Me neither. Lived here for 12 years.
Fellow Floridian, I have never once heard this song
I only looked it up because I saw it engraved somewhere in the Florida capitol.
I'm already in Florida and I'm already hearing this song
Thanks, Cody.
This will play as the closing credits for Florida
man hopefully those come soon
Bruh I’m Floridan, shut you Inland Yankees.
DISGUSTING New Yorker spotted.
Yup. Hetalia - Let's go to Florida! Not coming soon.
Sounds like a Disney princess’s song in a Disney movie
Exactly!
Fitting because Florida has Disney world
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.
Could say it is a nod to Disney as well.
Are you ever going to be able to sing this song?
There’s literally a part that says “rockets skyward run”
this hits different when you're in a storm
I read this as there's a thunderstorm currently passing by
I was born in Florida and I will proudly die in Florida. She is my State and I will defend her freedom forever!
bro wtf
@@sage4839 - You got an issue with the Sunshine State?
as a Floridian this hit different then the star spangled banner
The star spangled banner has always been a joke of anthem
@@slyfox7452are you even American bc if you are the Star-Spangled Banner is the most best anthem in our nation history how could you say it’s a joke
@@obsoletejseason1211 america the beautiful is the true national anthem of america.
@@slyfox7452 that’s the spirit 🇺🇸🦅🗽
I’ve never heard this song in the fifty years I’ve lived here in Florida.😮
We have the oldest city in USA. San Augustine established by the Spanish in the 16th century.
¡Viva La Florida!
Wow great anthem
Long Live the State of Florida
My second home! 🦅♥
I love this video !! I love DN Anthem 🥰
Beatiful
You know what I call your speedrun time? ROOKIE NUMBERS!!!
MOOOOORRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thas ma boi!!!!
Most any Jimmy Buffett song mentioning Florida would work better than a Disney musical song or a song about a river mostly in Georgia.
This needs to be Florida’s state song
It’s the Florida anthem, adopted on 2008. The state song is Stephen Foster Way Down upon the Suwannee River.
Sounds like something from an 80’s romance movie. Bring back the Old Folks at Home.
Floria Swansee River
*Suwannee
As a person who lives Florida, I love this song 🇯🇪
bruh, that’s the flag of *gag* Jersey
ya could have used a sun ☀️ emoji or the orange 🍊 emoji
@@miscellaneoussarnian5282dose it really matter?
@@obsoletejseason1211no but it does mean that you guys need to update your state flag a little bit honestly you don't even need to do that much, just replace the seal with the blue circle and put a sign in the middle and that is beautiful
@@romanw8632 as much as we could come to agree to disagree I love my state flag. It’s a meaningful flag and represents Florida and us. It I don’t see a point changing it.
Florida the Sunshine State or more like the Hurricane State or the Sinkhole State (because Florida gets a lot of sinkholes) or Alligator land
Florida home of Miami Jacksonville and DisneyWorld
Florida is an awesome state great people and cool points of interest like DisneyWorld or Universal Studios and Resort or Miami Beach
Stay safe from those hurricanes you Floridians
People in Florida really like their nickname 90 percent of the custom plates on cars have to do with sunshine
Florida is like a paradise. And yes there are lots of hurricanes.
Lots.
I can tell you aren’t from florida
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.
as a Floridian I think Florida should be renamed to “ Alligatoria “
Ok we gotta step it up we can't let Georgia out do us😢
this sounds like a fucking supermarket song. FLORIDAAAAA 🫡🫡
I thought we had just one state song, Suwanee River, when did this song come to existence?
In 2008 it replaced Suwannee River. Suwanee River is still the state song, but this song is the state anthem.
@@chesterbless9441 wow, thank you, I didn't know that
This sounds like the end credits of a 1990s Disney Renaissance movie, but it was adopted in 2008! What the hell is going on???
Cody Fan?.
Space Coast 🚀 ❤
oh if only it were a paradise like the song without their politics behind every day life.
I’m a Florida man
Glad to be Floridian
Sounds like something off a musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda
yay
Also where graystillplays lives.
And Flamingo,Dream and Kreekcraft lots of famous gamers in florida
And Thomas Sanders, Fit, Dream and Sapnap (though the latter’s from TX)
some of my famly lives there.
Sounds like a Disney Song
Makes sense because one thing that Florida is known for is Disneyworld
@@miscellaneoussarnian5282 That wasn't a compliment I hate the song and the fact is I hate Disney
Old one was flockin now this ain’t flockin
Why do I feel like I'm on the part of the date where the mating in a field of swamp flowers starts?
But I'm in Michigan
When did they change it?
2008
Major Disney vibes, but that was intenentional?
I’m from Florida and I’m Miami so like I don’t really understand one thing 0:10
ROOKIE NUMBERS
Congrats to Gov DeSantis from 🇬🇧
I hope Sunak can make the UK more free, good luck
This completely wrong its kodak black-No flocking
HOLY 69 LIKES
Did Disney get to write this?
I’m 5th gen Floridian, and I’m gonna be honest, I despise this song with every cell in my southern blood
FIFTH? JESUS
🙌 Right there with you. My family has been here since Florida first entered the Union. Busch Gardens now sits on my family’s land. The land they settled isn’t ours anymore but we’re still here.
@@user-vw4xp5nt9f5 generations can be just 100 years. My Sicilian ancestors 5 gens ago to America in the 1910s or 1920s
I like this song but it is way too long for people to memorize or even learn. Maybe they could abbreviate it somewhat. And yes, it does sound like a Disney song ! Lol
I am 74 so it is too late to make a change. I'll have to stick with Stephen Foster and
" Old folks at home" even though it is dated but then
So is "My old Kentucky home" and they sing it at the Derby every year !
Cody doesn't like this song, apparently.
We need to do away with this two song compromise and have a song written by a Florida native.
Some of my family is there
Meh. I mean, I get why they changed it, but couldn't they change it to something better and not worse. I teach elementary school music, and the best thing about state songs is that they're easy for EVERYONE to learn. Good luck teachng a bunch of 4th graders to sing this. I'll be teaching "Old Folks at Home" and modifying the lyrics.
I thought it was no flockin by Kodak black? What’s this bs
It’s too slow for me
I know that it's not a song directly about Florida, but 'Song in the Breeze' - By The Outlaws will always be the song that I associate with Florida the most. Seminole Wind by John Anderson/Luke Combs is a great one too.
This aint kodak
We all know its Kodak black no flocking freestyle this is for the npc’s of Florida
😝Terrible
Ok confederate

This can’t be the state song. It’s cringe bullshit. Heck it even leaves out an entire section of the state.
I agree! I assumed it would be majestic not a 80’s romantic movie theme song. Cringe is right. I know it’s not always easy to write a song everyone likes but someone at Disney couldn’t have had shot at it. At least we would all be singing it!
Ok confederates
I've lived here all my life and ive never heard this song. It makes us sound like some sort of Disney princess destination. What the fail to mention are the crazy florida men. The meth. The mosquitos. Batshit governors we've had over the years. The fact that we have southerners in the north and Northerners in the south. Yep. Add that in.
