Lauren Hoffman - Thankful Everyday (Demo)
So many things
They said that little girls shouldn’t do
You never played by their rules
Up in my room
All that I wanted to do was play guitar like you
Maybe it was unusual to be a girl like me...
On the way to the gig I was writing
Lyrics in the backseat
Not even teenaged yet
Those are days with you I’ll never forget
So how do I say I’m thankful every day
I was so lucky to be Raised free
How do I show you I’m so grateful to know
You didn’t want me to be anything but me
Out in the world
They called me a Girl
That word’s too small to hold all of me
You didn’t define me
You showed me the mystery
How to find harmony - if you’re listening ...
Maybe, it’s not unusual to be someone like me...
I wasn’t raised to be someone’s wife
But I’ve got a lot of love in my life
And I’m not through- I still have a lot of loving to do
