Thats life, thats what people say.
Youre riding high in april,

Shot down in may.

But I know Im gonna change that tune,
When Im back on top in june.

Thats life, funny as it seems.

Some people get their kicks,

Steppin on dreams;

But I dont let it get me down,

cause this ol word keeps getting around.

Ive been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king.
Ive 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.
Thats life, I cant deny it,

I thought of quitting,
But my heart just wont buy it.

If I didnt think it was worth a try,

Id roll myself up in a big ball and die
