Inspired by a third devastating event in a friend's life and my ever-present positive attitude, I sat down and wrote this song in January 2022.
CHORUS
They come in threes
Good things and bad
It doesn’t matter if they make you happy
Or if the make you sad
They come in threes
But who’s keeping count
Once you get to three go back to one
You’re never really out
Raindrops bring us rainbows
And they can break a drought
Too much rain brings misery
Bringing inside what was out
The rose’s fragrant petals
Mask the painful stem
The thorns are their protection
The yin amongst the yang
Kittens purr and cuddle
Yet they also scratch and snub
Dogs can bark and bite you
But more often bring you love
Life will throw you lemons
And sometimes it’s too tart
But sugar comes to save us
We can always hit restart
CHORUS
Accidents and incidents
Bring problems to our door
Ten minutes on a swing set though
And who could ask for more
Jails sometimes bare genius
Freedom can beckon sloth
It’s all in how you frame it
On days you’re feeling off
Rollercoaster ups and downs
Can both bring joy or pain
Once the ride is over
Get back on and ride again
Life will throw you lemons
And sometimes it’s too tart
So sugar comes to save us
We can always hit restart
CHORUS
