Hey mum and dad
I write to tell you
My life is not an open door
You think you got it made
Til something breaks you down
But don't worry
I'm doing alright
Got no job but tomorrow
I'll work it out
Life's a roller coaster ride

It's a story untold
What awaits you can never know
Life is such a mystery
It's a puzzle undone
You can never anticipate
The way it's meant to be

There was a man
Poor and homeless
I read he won the lottery
He bought a house
Got married had it all
Last night he was hit by a car
Suddenly your
world can turn upside down
Life's a roller coaster ride

It's a story untold
What awaits you can never know
Life is such a mystery
It's a puzzle undone
You can never anticipate
The way it's meant to be

It's funny the way
Situations can change
from day to day
Just don't let it
break you down
In the end of the day you
can make it through in a way
it's up to you

It's a story untold
What awaits you can never know
Life is such a mystery
It's a puzzle undone
You can never anticipate
The way it's meant to be
