UnAmusement Park

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Another roller coaster tunnel at the start of every ride
And we all must pass through it to come out into the light

Now you’re at the bottom of the hill on your way up
And everyone who rides the roller coaster buckles up

When you are on the mountain top its always such a thrill
But make sure that you’re buckled in we’re headed down the hill

You know its not all fun and games; suffer, yes you will
The contest is to find the joy while you are being killed

Don’t worry, on the last day you’ll be raised to life again
And if you die in Christ then your reward will never end

The ride will!
