Ups and Downs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The darkness is pierced by the morning sun The light is beautiful, and I'm mesmerized by it But soon I can't open my eyes But eventually, I get used to it [Pre-Chorus] Surrounded by precious things The heart turns into stone [Chorus] Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story A happy ending is just a snapshot in time Life is a journey, not a destination Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs [Instrumental] [Verse 2] My friend enjoyed Paradise for the palate Holding a platinum knife, with sapphire gloves But his eyes did not shine What he needs is an economic overthrow [Pre-Chorus] Surrounded by precious things My heart turns into stone [Chorus] Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story A happy ending is just a snapshot in time Life is a journey, not a destination Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs [Instrumental] [Bridge] Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story Sometimes you have to play a supporting role, oh! But what matters is that your eyes shine In the moment [Outro] Hardly the stuff of a bedtime story A happy ending is just a snapshot in time Life is a journey, not a destination Enjoy the ride, with ups and downs
