I was sinking like a stone in a river too wide
Caught in the middle with no place to hide
But the sun hit my face, and I heard the breeze say
"Get up, keep moving, there's more to this day."
Every road I've walked, every scar I've earned
Every bridge that burned was a lesson learned
And I won't trade the thunder for the quiet skies
No, I'd rather feel the storm in my veins tonight
I love this ride, every twist, every turn
Every crash, every burn, every lesson I've learned
It's messy, it's wild, but it's mine to decide
So I'll throw up my hands and just love this ride
There's a crack in the wall where the sunlight creeps
Even shadows dance when the world's asleep
And the rain's just a lover washing dirt from my skin
I don't fear the dark, I'm alive within
I've kissed the ground and I've touched the sky
I've lost my way but I've never asked why
Because every stumble's a spark that lights the night
And every goodbye's a door to a brand-new life
I love this ride, every twist, every climb
Every heartbreak that healed in its own time
It's messy, it's wild, but it's mine to embrace
So I'll raise my head and keep up the pace
Don't need perfect, don't need a straight line
Life's a puzzle and the pieces don't always align
But the beauty's in the chaos, the laughter, the tears
I'll take it all, every shattered mirror
I love this ride, every twist, every fall
Every lesson that taught me to stand tall
It's messy, it's wild, but it's mine to defend
And I'll hold on tight till the very end
So here I stand, heart open wide
With a million stars lighting up the sky
Whatever comes next, I'll be ready to try
Because I love this ride, yeah, I love this ride
