Words & Music by Corey Emerson & Steve
Siler
It was just an ordinary day
Normal things done in the normal way
In places that I love - with faces I hold dear
A summer day, a rainy night
A child's laugh, a lover's fight
A road we traveled well - nothing to fear.
It was just an ordinary day
Then in a moment everything had changed.
Out of the familiar - into the unknown.
I close my eyes, hold my breath
Caught between life and death
I'm gonna have to take this ride alone.
CHORUS
The bar comes down, I'm hanging on
The panic starts to rise
A twist - a turn, the bottom drops
I'm fighting for my life.
My heart pounds, can't catch my breath
And everything's a blur
No one wants a ticket
for the wildest ride on earth.
You wish that there was something you could do
You reach for me - I reach for you
Down another valley - again over the top
An open mouth, a silent scream
All our hopes, all our dreams
Who knows when this ride will finally stop?
REPEAT CHORUS
I keep thinking that this nightmare just can't be
God why is this happening to me?
The ride slows down but is it at an end?
I might have to face it all again
Looking for a reason - longing to be free
Such a scary place to be
My face is in the mirror and my feet are on the floor
I still don't have the answers, but I'm stronger than before
Living in the moment now for everything its worth
Another brave survivor of the wildest ride on earth
