Verse 1: Life is a journey with twists and turns,

Sometimes we soar, sometimes we burn.

Life is a challenge with goals and dreams,

Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we scream.

Chorus: Life is a gift with joys and sorrows,

Sometimes we cherish, sometimes we borrow.

Life is a mystery with secrets and clues,

Sometimes we discover, sometimes we lose.

Verse 2: Life is what we make it with choices and actions,

Sometimes we create, sometimes we react.

Life is a poem with words and rhymes,

Sometimes we write, sometimes we mime.

Chorus: Life is a rose with petals and thorns,

Sometimes we admire, sometimes we bleed.

We live in a world of life, love, and the good,

The bad, the ugly, misunderstood.

Bridge: We love with passion, heartache, happiness, joy,

We wake up every day, we see the sun deploy.

The moon, the stars, they guide our way,

We learn to live, to love, to stay.

Outro: We know to assimilate to a world of fear,

But through it all, we persevere.

Life is a journey, a beautiful ride,

With every twist and turn, we find our stride.

Life is funny with its twists and turns

Sometimes we soar.

Sometimes we burn.
