Lemonade

Alright, ‘fess up, who signed me up for this round

The child screams every time I try to sit down

I’ve never come across a heavier crown

But mamas do what mamas do, we figure it out

 

I’d be delighted

If the butterfly

Could send a small reminder

Something like

 

There’s nothing this life will throw at you

That you can’t get through

 

Someone said life’s a competition

Someone said life’s an open buffet

Someone said if life gives you lemons

Squeeze it by the balls – I mean, you make lemonade

 

Someone said life’s a gift from the heavens

They should’ve thought to light the tunnels all the way

Someone said if life gives you lemons

Seize the day anyway and make some lemonade

 

It looks like the rent’s gone up again

What kind of inhumane human charges more to have pets

I could cry to all the best friends I barely have time to text

Once upon a time, a butterfly came to me while I wept

And said

 

There’s nothing this life will throw at you

That you can’t get through

 

Someone said life’s a competition

Someone said life’s an open buffet

Someone said if life gives you lemons

Squeeze it by the balls – I mean, you make lemonade

 

Someone said life’s a gift from the heavens

They should’ve thought to light the tunnels all the way

Someone said if life gives you lemons

Seize the day anyway and make some lemonade

 

You won’t be the first and last to go

Against values

That we were raised on or grew up with

So use that strength and that knowledge

Of not being alone

We’re here for you

(C’mon, tell ’em, Jo)

 

There’s nothing this life will throw at you

That you can’t get through

 

Someone said life’s a competition
