That's Life

That’s life, that’s what people say

You’re ridin’ high in april, shot down in may

But I know I’m gonna change their tune

When I’m back, back on top, in june

That’s life, funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks stepin’ on a dream

But I just can’t let them get me down

’Cause this big old world, keeps spinnin’ around

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a queen

I’ve been up and down and over and out, oh the drama I’ve seen

Each time I find myself flat on my face

So I pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life, I can’t deny it

I thought of quitting, but my friends just won’t buy it

But if I thought it wasn’t worth a try

I’d just jump right up on that big bird, then I’d fly

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a queen

I’ve been up and down and over and out, over all of the drama I’ve seen

Each time I find myself flat on my face

So I pick myself up and get back in the race

That’s life, I can’t deny it

I thought of quitting, but my friends they just won’t buy it

So sister, brother, husband or wife

I just thank God for the present, the present

That’s life, that’s life
