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 that tune |
|
When I'm back on top in june. |
|
That's life, funny as it seems. |
|
Some people get their kicks, |
|
Steppin' on dream |
|
But I don't let it get me down, |
|
'cause this final word keeps spinning 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 |
|
And 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 tell you can't deny it, |
|
I thought of quitting,baby |
|
But my heart just won't buy it. |
|
If I didn't think it was worth one single try, |
|
I jump and ride a big bird and then I fly |
|
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 |
|
And 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,that's life and I can't deny it |
|
Many times I thought of quitting |
|
But my heart just won't buy it. |
|
If I didn't think it was worth one single try, |
|
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball |
|
and I'm my mine |
