Oh lord
It came as a daybreak
But surely arrived
Opened my eyes just to be sure I was alive

Another day
Ends much the same
Twenty four hours for me to try again

I’m rolling on
I’m rolling on
I’m rolling on
I’m rolling on

It came as a judgment
We all have to face
Think of how you bring me joy
You bring me disgrace

I take your challenge
Then I get some motion
I reach on my beliefs
Against my sin

I’m rolling on
I’m rolling on
I’m rolling on
I’m rolling on

Rolling on and on and on forever
Yes I am
Rolling on and on and on together

I’m rolling on
To where I don’t care
Crystal ball you let me down again
Rolling down the road I’ve never seen
Meeting people seeing places I’ve never been
