In a moment, your life flashes before your eyes
As you glide down that tunnel towards the light
Family, friends, the homeless guy down the street
the orphan who couldn't get enough of you
and the valet guy who kept asking you out
The places with which these people touched your heart
are mini gardens in the sky, mini clouds upon the earth
the amusement park in Florida, the grocery store in Toronto,
an empty classroom in Phoenix, the grassy hills of California
The days when the roller coaster just wouldn't come back up
stuck in downward motion, with a light slowly dimming out
All the words and emotions flowing into the thick air
fear, distraught, anger, confusion
It all came back to those same people
the ones who you couldn't help but love
They tore apart the roller coaster with bare hands
just so the upward turmoil could never end
And now it won't.
