Allen Shamblin/Steve Seskin      Life is like a roller coaster   It's up and down, it's over and over again   'Til it ends   The way I figure it, it's grist for the mill   A lesson you learn in every hard spill you take   There's no mistake      Chorus:   We're all diamonds in the rough   We'll all shine soon enough   Struggles in this life can make you strong   We waste the good times and the bad   But keep in mind that when you're sad   Those tears of joy and sorrow lead you home   Every drop of water shapes the stone      You wouldn't know it by lookin' at me now   Not long ago, I was down for the count and scared   Didn't think I had a prayer   But I found the strength to get over that mountain   It took a little time, but nobody's countin' anyway   So I'm here to say      Chorus      Bridge:   There's a masterpiece in every heart   An ever changing work of art      Chorus      Life is kind of like a roller coaster   Up and down, over and over again   'Til it ends
