When Life Gives You Lemons [Lyrics by Parker-Reason Alt Remix]

[Verse 1]

Sour on my tongue again

Tart enough to sting

Mama always told me

Time keeps rearranging things

I sat there on that porch

Watching seasons swing

Hoping for the honey

Waiting for the better thing

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything is heavy

Everything is slow

Give it till the evening

Watch the sunlight grow

[Chorus]

When the world hands you a lemon

Press it till it sings

Sip the bitter patience

Feel the pop of precious things

Shake it till it sparkles

Make it something grand

Lemon light in little rows

Go go go til it's sweet again

[Post-Chorus]

Pour it up

Pass it round

Sweet and sour

City sound

[Verse 2]

Dusty jars on dusty shelves

Colors calling out

Every stain a story

Turn the worry inside out

The rain is just the rinsing

For a garden coming round

Pucker up and lean in

That's the promise being found

[Pre-Chorus]

Everything is heavy

Everything is slow

Give it till the evening

Watch the sunlight grow

[Chorus]

When the world hands you a lemon

Press it till it sings

Sip the bitter patience

Feel the pop of precious things

Shake it till it sparkles

Make it something grand

Lemon light in little rows

Go go go til it's sweet again

[Bridge]

Maybe there's a purpose

Hidden in the sting

A secret that the bright ones carry

A reason that they bring

Stir it slow and golden

Look into the glass

One more note of sunset

Watch the shadow pass

[Chorus]

When the world hands you a lemon

Press it till it sings

Sip the bitter patience

Feel the pop of precious things

Shake it till it sparkles

Make it something grand

Lemon light in little rows

Go go go til it's sweet again
