Ups and Downs

Life is like a roller coaster
There are ups and downs
Fast times and slow times
Good times and bad times
Peaks and valleys,

When you get on the ride
You strap yourself in
Whatever happens, happens
You hang on real tight
Hope to survive that ride.

Some like it fast
Some like it slow
Everyone wants on
Then they want off
Life is like a roller coaster

There is a lesson to learn
Be sure you count the cost
Once you get on you’re on
On the way up everything is fine
It’s handling the ride down that counts!
