Life is like a rollercoaster 
Rising high into the sky 
Feeling free with every breath 
Never afraid to take the next step 

The slow rise to the top is worth waiting for 
Until the big drop down 
Like the speed of light, you race down the track 
Now there’s no way to go back 

You swing through curves 
Fly through loops 
The debt collector calls 
You think of a dupe 

When all is said and done 
The ride comes to an end 
You’re out of breath and feel so lost 
There’s plenty of sun, you look around 
To see you’re back where you began 

At the bottom of the track you look high in the sky 
Wondering if you dare to take the ride 
A deep breath, and hope for the best
You want to cry as you rise into the sky
