Your Uplifting Song for When Life Gives You Lemons

A cheeky little anthem for those mornings when hiding under the covers sounds easier than facing the day.  *Listen on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube Music.* iTunes is an affiliate link. (COMING SOON)

LIFE GAVE ME LEMONS SO I MADE PIE (Lyrics)

(VERSE 1)

I pulled the covers over my head

Not today,

I can’t face what I dread

There’s no way,

Leave me be,

I’m fine under these lily white sheets,

I need these five minutes

of pure self-defeat

(PRE CHORUS)

FINE! Affirmations!

here I go:

(CHORUS)

I’m brave 

I’m strong

I can even fly

when you look up 

That’s not a bird in the sky

it’s me after meditation

scented candles and sage

I willed myself to turn 

that miserable page

(VERSE 2)

It’s time for the easy road

Paved with a view

to let it all go

to build and renew

to affirm life is better

Despite stormy weather

I’ll earn that reprieve

one way or another

(PRE CHORUS)

More Affirmations.

here I go:

(CHORUS)

I’m brave 

I’m strong

I can even fly

when you look up 

That’s not a bird in the sky

it’s me after meditation

scented candles and sage

I willed myself to turn 

that miserable page

(VERSE 3)

When life gives me lemons

I make pie

I throw whipped cream into the sky

I make every rainbow multiply

I paint a smile

on the face of the moon

and fill my mind with pink balloons

I’m an affirming Queen

whose time has come

I know I’ve got this battle won

when it rains I see the sun

(BRIDGE)

I pulled up the covers

to make the bed,

Not today, 

forget it I said,

I’ll face all those things 

I sometimes dread

I now use my five minutes

to think good thoughts

to power my mind 

to give what I’ve got

I face another day,

turn life into a win,

despite all the obstacles 

I will rise again 

(OUTRO CHORUS)

I’m brave, I’m strong

I’m smart, I’m kind,

these are the thoughts

I want in my mind

I pulled up the covers

to make that bed,

Not today, 

forget it! I said

I’ll straighten my crown

and get out of this bed

I’ll start my day 

with good thoughts in my head!

THE STORY BEHIND THE LYRICS

HER STORY: The morning light crept through the window and landed directly on her face, which felt unnecessarily rude.

She opened one eye, then the other, and stared at the ceiling. It was going to be one of those days.

For a moment, she considered pulling the covers over her head and pretending the world had misplaced her.

But after a few minutes of very serious self-defeat, she decided that hiding under the blankets probably wasn’t going to solve anything. Besides, there was coffee to be made.

She sat up, took a deep breath, and decided it was time for some positive self-talk.

She told herself she was brave. She was strong. She was smart. She was kind. She could handle whatever the day decided to throw at her.

It was a bold strategy.

There were a few moments when she wasn’t entirely convinced.

So she tried again.

And somewhere between the meditation, the scented candles, the sage, and a determined decision to stop thinking like the day was already doomed, something shifted.

Maybe she couldn’t control what was coming.

But she could control how she faced it.

She got out of bed, straightened her shoulders, and walked toward the kitchen.

Life might hand her lemons.

Fine.

She’d make pie.

And maybe have another cup of coffee while she was at it.
