Emily Hurd: SONGS

I was born to this body. I was born to this time.
I was born to this story. Hard to know what I like.
I was given religion. And I was given my name.
And I was given a vision. And now it won’t go away.

CHORUS
Take me down to the river with a vengeance.
Let’s swim around til there ain’t a day or night.
Til we no longer bear our own resemblance.
And we love outside of this life.
And we love outside of this life.

I was raised to be careful. I was raised to lie.
I was raised to be fearful. Don’t know what feelings are mine.
I was made to be loving. I was made not to trust.
If I was made for you honey, what lies ahead for us?

CHORUS

I was shown to be tender. I was shown not to ask.
I was shown to know better than to forfeit my past.
I was sure when I saw you. That you sure weren’t for me.
But I sure feel I know you. So I’m sure gonna see.

CHORUS
