If Life Gives You Lemons

Alarm clock screaming

Sun ain’t even kind

Coffee’s cold, and the rent’s past due

Clouds outside my window

Matching up my mind

Feels like nothing’s breaking through

I try to keep it together

Tie hope to my shoes

Step into whatever

This old day wants to use

Why’s it always raining on me?

Why’s it heavy every step I take?

But I won’t let it drown me

No, I won’t let it wash me away

When life gives me lemons

I make lemonade

Even if it burns a little going down my face

I’ll squeeze every drop

Till the bitterness breaks

Turn the sharpest pain

Into something sweet I can take

Yeah, when life keeps pushing

I won’t let it win

I’ll pour a little sugar from the strength within

If the world goes sour

I won’t be afraid

When life gives me lemons

I make lemonade

Boss man talking

Like I’m one mistake

From everything just falling through

Traffic ain’t moving

But my heart won’t break

I’ve been through worse than you

Bills keep calling my number

Pressure on my chest

But I’ve learned from the hunger

How to turn hurt into my best

Why’s it always testing my faith?

Why’s it never easy for me?

But I won’t let it break me

No, I won’t let it steal my belief

When life gives me lemons

I make lemonade

Even if it stings when it hits the cut it made

I’ll twist that flavor

Till the sourness fades

Turn my darkest nights

Into brighter days

Yeah, when hope feels distant

And the sky turns gray

I’ll raise my glass to better days

If the world goes sour

I won’t be afraid

When life gives me lemons

I make lemonade

If it knocks me down

I’ll get up again

If it dries me out

I’ll find rain within

You can’t hand me hurt

And expect me to break

I was born to turn

Every storm I face

When life gives me lemons

I make lemonade

Pour it high, let the whole world taste

I’ll squeeze that pressure

Till it fuels my flame

Turn every trial

Into my strength and my name

Yeah, life keeps squeezing

But I elevate

When life gives me lemons

I make lemonade

(Lemonade… lemonade…)
