Under pastel skies Streams of golden light shine on through Driving through the hillside Trying to find some peace of mind Just gotta leave it all in the dust behind 'Cause it's a cruel world Trying to see the beauty in it All these people trying to keep the planet from spinning Oh, it's simple you're just hanging on too tight Gotta let it all go and just Enjoy the ride Oh, enjoy the ride 'Cause I've been down just a little too long Been pushed around up against a wall It's like the winds of change are playing games with my broken heart I've forgotten what it's like to be under blue skies To feel the warmth of the Sun falling on me as I drive on by 'Cause it's a cruel world Trying to see the beauty in it All these people trying to keep the planet from spinning Oh, it's simple you're just hanging on too tight Gotta let it all go and just Enjoy the ride Oh, enjoy the ride Oh, what a time Oh, what a life Oh, what a ride (The ride) Oh, what a time Oh, what a life Oh, what a ride
