I know the land where the lemon-trees flower.
Grows, God has instilled in me a chance to shower;
To cry about those sadden things;
To pray for the suddenly glad tidings;

I am thirsty Lord

~chorus~
Oh, I truly believe, nothing but lemon aide for me
A sweet tasting life to me, A sweet tasting life to be
Liquid yellow water fruit for my stomach and my soul 
No longer thirsty now for I know where the lemon trees grow

Come to the garden, it will be different this time;
Come to the altar, bring your cup of water;
Where Adam and Eve will be praising God;
So smoothing the brine odd sure, Father;

I am thirsty Lord

~chorus~
Oh, I truly believe, nothing but lemon aide for me
A sweet tasting life to me, A sweet tasting life to be
Liquid yellow water fruit for my stomach and my soul 
No longer thirsty now for I know where the lemon trees grow

The smells of juniper leaves lavender in the breeze;
Ahh! those lemon trees await you and me;
While somewhere on the northeast region of India;
Northern Burma or China I believe the bitter orange revival;

I am thirsty Lord

My taste for lemon, shall not go unfathomed;
Come to the garden;
It will be different this time;
Come to the new altar;
Come drink of the new wine;
Where Adam and Eve will be praising God;
I know the land where the lemon-tree flower grows;
I know the land where the lemon-tree grows;
