Rainy Parade Lyrics - Allergic To Water - Ani Difranco

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
