Life is like the rolling stone
Awkward on its way alone
Fate and outcome just unknown
But that the road will end

Through the ruts, up hill down dale
Biding by the masters hail
Searching for the Holy Grail
And life that God did send

The stone of life does slowly crack
Debris left back down the track
But onward rolls not looking back
Of how it turned the bend

As creation started man
Slow at first the stone began
But from slow it quickly ran
And time was not a friend

Watching through the dizzy haze
Rolling, searching through the maze
Finding things that would amaze
Until the stretch to end

You see, life’s like a rolling stone
When we leave we roll alone
Taking past and visions shown
That were in truth on lend

So take the ride, enjoy the show
Dizzy be as fast you go
For time will end before we know
No difference would pretend
