Allen Shamblin/Steve Seskin



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



Chorus:

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

Those 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



Chorus



Bridge:

There's a masterpiece in every heart

An ever changing work of art



Chorus



Life is kind of like a roller coaster

Up and down, over and over again

'Til it ends
