That's Life

That's life, that's what people say.

You're riding high in april,

Shot down in may.

But I know I'm gonna change their tune,

When I'm right back on top in june.

That's life, funny as it seems.

Some people get their kicks,

Steppin' on dreams

But I just can't let it 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 king.

I've been up and down and over and out

But I know one thing:

Each time I find myself flat on my face,

I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That's life, I can't deny it,

I thought of quitting,

But my heart just won't buy it.

'Cause if I didn't think it was worth a try,

I'd have to roll myself up in a big ball and die.
