Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem is the closing song in "Rollercoaster: The Musical!"

Lyrics
Well we hope you all enjoyed the show

Hope it was not anti-climatic

Now there's something we want you to know

And we don't want to sound didactic

But if there's one thing we can say

I know it sounds a bit cliché

There's no such thing

As just an ordinary day

And you don't have to build a roller coaster

To find your own way to make the most of

These days of summer

You can dance to the beat of a different drummer

Just grab those opportunities when you see 'em 'Cause every day's a brand new day, you gotta Carpe Diem

And you don't have to build a roller coaster

To find your own way to make the most of

Every minute

No more waiting for the right time, you're in it

Just grab those opportunities when you see 'em 'Cause every day's a brand new day, baby, carpe diem

Every day's a brand new day, baby, carpe diem

Every day's a brand new day, baby, carpe diem

Every day's a brand new day

Carpe diem
