Ani Difranco - Rainy Parade lyrics

Are you facing east or west Or north or south? When it gets cold outside Do you get brought in Or do you get left out? Are you in the shade of something bigger Or are you right out in the sun? Are you down there in the trenches Or at the top of the mountain? Either way you better take your lemons And make your lemonade Life’s a rainy parade Have you felt the longing in a seed? Have you felt it swimming in its need? Pushing through into the light Then you know what I’m sayin’ When I’m sayin’ it’s gonna be alright You just got to take your lemons And make your lemonade Have your rainy parade Listen to the beating of the drum Look at the smiles on everyone Who says it’s better to be dry? The mighty oak trees are so happy right now They could cry So you best better take your lemons And make your lemonade Have your rainy parade
