This song still gives me chills. Jennifer is so familiar to me because she reminds me of where I come from, and how I grew up. She, in so many ways, reminds me of a family friend who, even after my parents died, would still call me and ask how I was doing. I haven’t been “back home” in a long time, but whenever I have these songs playing, I hear everything about myself that I feel is part of my foundation. We all have roots. Mine are deep, and I’m never going to stop being proud of them.
Music
Natural
Will you hold the line, when every one of them has given up and given in, tell me
In this house of mine
Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost tell me
Will the stars align
Will heaven step in will it save us from our sin, will it?
‘Cause this house of mine stands strong
That’s the price you pay
Leave behind your heart and cast away
Just another product of today
Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you’re standing on the edge face up
‘Cause you’re a natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah you’re a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah you’re a natural
Will somebody, let me see the light within the dark trees shadowing
What’s happenin?
Looking through the glass find the wrong within the past knowing
We are youth
Cut until it bleeds inside a world without the peace, face it.
A bit of the truth, the truth
That’s the price you pay
Leave behind your heart and cast away
Just another product of today
Rather be the hunter than the prey
And you’re standing on the edge face up
‘Cause you’re a natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah you’re a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah you’re a natural
Deep inside me
I’m fading to black I’m fading
Took an oath by the blood of my hand, won’t break it
I can taste it the end is upon us I swear
gonna make it
I’m gonna make it
Natural
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold
To make it in this world
Yeah you’re a natural
Living your life cutthroat
You gotta be so cold
Yeah you’re a natural
