Lemon Trees

Did I plant all my seeds 

Did some blow with the breeze? 

I’ve waited all my life for them to sprout into trees 

Oh I finally see leaves 

Of new beginnings I’ll reap

But I still can’t control the weather 

And I’m hoping they’ll survive the winter 

With no guarantees 

I planted my garden of lemon trees 

There’s a recipe 

But to me it’s so bittersweet 

Cause there isn’t one recipe 

That can satisfy everyone’s different needs 

It seems risky 

But what if those several seeds

Could grow a new reality 

A life that most could only dream

Well if I wanna see the fruits of my labor 

I’ll give my trees my last drink of water 

With the faith it comes back to me 

Reap what I sow so I’ll give it all of me

Did I plant all my seeds 

Did some blow with the breeze? 

I’ve waited all my life for them to sprout into trees 

Oh I finally see leaves 

Of new beginnings I’ll reap

But I still can’t control the weather 

And I’m hoping they’ll survive the winter 

With no guarantees 

I planted my garden of lemon trees 

Oh I’ve grown with these roots 

Intertwined we’re one in two 

If these leaves die a part of me goes too 

The lemons they gave away 

Might make a pitcher of lemonade 

But I’ve invested everything 

To harvest my greatest dreams 

So will I harvest anything?
