Life is like a roller coaster
It's up and down, it's over and over again 'til it ends
The way I figure it, it's grist for the mill
A lesson you learn in every hard spill you take, there's no mistake
We're all diamonds in the rough
We'll all shine soon enough
Struggles in this life can make you strong
We waste the good times and the bad
But keep in mind that when you're sad
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead you home
Every drop of water shapes the stone
You wouldn't know it by lookin' at me now
Not long ago, I was down for the count and scared
Didn't think I had a prayer
But I found the strength to get over that mountain
It took a little time, but nobody's countin' anyway, so I'm here to say
We're all diamonds in the rough
We'll all shine soon enough
Struggles in this life can make you strong
We waste the good times and the bad
Sorry man, but when you're sad
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead you home
Every drop of water shapes the stone
There's a masterpiece in every heart
An ever changing work of art
We're all diamonds in the rough
We'll all shine soon enough
Struggles in this life can make you strong
Waste the good times and the bad
Sorry man, but when you're sad
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead you home
Every drop of water shapes the stone
Life is kind of like a roller coaster
Up and down, over and over again 'til it ends
