Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
You wake up from your dreaming And you don't want to face the day You can't find a reason To think your world will ever change You can hide beneath the covers Or you can run outside head up high and carry on Life is a roller coaster ride Time Turns the Wheel and Love Collides Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky. So Shine while you have the chance to shine Laugh even when you want to cry Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride It brings you up slowly then shoots you like a rocket towards the ground It twists you and it shakes you before it turns you upside down You can't see what's around the corner And You can't look back, so just live it up and feel the rush Life is a roller coaster ride Time Turns the Wheel and Love Collides Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky. So Shine while you have the chance to shine Laugh even when you want to cry Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride Ride, ride So shine while you have the chance to shine Laugh even when you want to cry Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride Ride, ride!
