Life is kinda like a roller coaster 
Up and down over and over again until it ends 
The way I figure it's all grist for the mill 
There's a lesson to learn from every hard spill we take 
And there are no mistakes. 

We're all diamonds in the rough, we'll shine soon 
enough 
It's the struggles in this life that make you strong 
Embrace the good times and the bad keep in mind when 
you're sad 
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead us home 
Every drop of water shapes the stone. 

Now you'd never know it be looking at me now 
But not long ago I was down for the count and scared 
Didn't think I had a prayer 
It took a while but nobody's countin' anyway and I'm 
here to say. 

We're all diamonds in the rough, we'll shine soon 
enough 
It's the struggles in this life that make you strong 
Embrace the good times and the bad keep in mind when 
you're sad 
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead us 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 shine soon enough 
Let tears of joy and sorrow lead you home 
Every drop of water shapes the stone. 

Life is kinda like a roller coaster up and down over 
and over again...
