Lyrics
Life is building memories
One moment at a time
And the stars are there throughout the day
Though we can’t see them shine
So take a journey up above
The clouds within your mind
And know the sun is just hiding
And what you seek is what you’ll find
And you never know
What’s around the bend
So take it slow
Maybe bring a friend
Cos it’s an adventure
Yeah it’s just a ride
Trust in yourself
Stay on your own side
You might be feeling lonesome
You might be feeling blue
You might be feeling no one knows
Just what you’re going through
But I say we’re all in this together
Though no one knows quite what’s going on
So just do what works for you
And the band will play along
And you never know
What’s around the bend
So take it slow
Maybe bring a friend
Cos it’s an adventure
Yeah it’s just a ride
Trust in yourself
Stay on your own side
You know the world’s been waiting
Since the moment life began
And you’re feeling you’re the reason
For this grand and glorious plan
And that might mean a great big pressure
Pushing down upon your soul
But you were made out of this garden
And you were born to play this role
And you never know
What’s around the bend
So take it slow
You might even make a new friend
Cos it’s an adventure
Yeah it’s just a ride
Trust in yourself
And stay on your own side
Stay on your own side
Cos it’s an adventure
Yeah it’s just an adventure.
