Carnival Ride: Words and music by Newt and Bryce Schottelkotte
Up like a roller coaster spinning ‘round the track,
Dive bombing, stomach churning, never looking back.
Life’s that way for everybody, plus, including me.
So hold on tight, smile and you’ll see.

‘Cause it goes up and down, twists all around,
loop de looping upside down.
Put it all together, life is a carnival ride,
life is a carnival ride…(wa oh wa oh oh oh oh oh)
life is a carnival ride…(wa oh wa oh oh oh oh oh)

Looking up, all around, as far as the eye can see,
at times in life you feel as tall as a California Redwood tree.
But there will be people in life who will make you feel so small,
but hold my hand, let me pick you up, and see it’s not so bad at all.

Put it all together, life is a carnival ride,
life is a carnival ride…(wa oh wa oh oh oh oh oh)
life is a carnival ride…(wa oh wa oh oh oh oh oh)

But there will be times, when you can’t pick, yourself back up again.
But all you gotta do is see the bright side and see the light of a friend.
