The wheels of life are turning
I feel I’m rolling down this track
And I know down deep inside my heart
I can’t look back

And though it’s hard discerning
All of the fiction from the fact
You have led me to this truth
And we have made a pact

And as we go through highs and lows
And all that’s in between
It’s good to know we’re not alone on this
big scream machine

CHORUS
This roller coaster ride of life
Lifts you up and lets you down
This roller coaster ride of life
Spins you round and round and round
Heaven knows wherever you go
I will be right by your side
On this roller coaster
Roller coaster ride of life
Roller coaster ride of life

So, when I hear you calling
‘Cause you have hit your all time low
I will hold you to my side
And I won’t let you go

And when it seems you’re falling
‘Cause life has got you on a roll
I will take the wheel and hit the brakes
We’ll take it slow

And as you go through highs and lows
And all that’s in between
The Lord alone is in control
Of this big scream machine

REPEAT CHORUS
