Life is a roller coaster
Life is a roller coaster
Oh! Life is a roller coaster
We all undergo moments of bliss
As well as moments of sorrow!
We cannot ever say it's over
An answer to Failure is Success
Opportunity so abounds today and tomorrow!
Aim for success ever and ever
Overmatch a deficit of self-confidence
Worry is an effluvium of barrow!
