Ricky Skaggs - Every Drop of Water Lyrics

(Steve Seskin - Allen Shamblin)

Life is kinda like a roller coaster
Up and down over and over again until it ends
The way I figure it's all grist for the mill
There's a lesson to learn from every hard spill we take
And there are no mistakes.

We're all diamonds in the rough, we'll shine soon enough
It's the struggles in this life that make you strong
Embrace the good times and the bad keep in mind when you're sad
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead us home
Every drop of water shapes the stone.

Now you'd never know it be looking at me now
But not long ago I was down for the count and scared
Didn't think I had a prayer
But I found the faith to get over that mountain
It took a while but nobody's countin' anyway and I'm here to say.

We're all diamonds in the rough, we'll shine soon enough
It's the struggles in this life that make you strong
Embrace the good times and the bad keep in mind when you're sad
Both tears of joy and sorrow lead us home
Every drop of water shapes the stone.

There's a masterpiece in every heart an ever changing work of art
We're all diamonds in the rough we'll shine soon enough
Let tears of joy and sorrow lead you home
Every drop of water shapes the stone.

Life is kinda like a roller coaster up and down over and over again...
