That's life.
That's what all the people say.
Riding high in April,
shot down in May. But I know I'm gonna change that tune
when I'm back on top,
back on top in June.
I said that's life.
And as funny as it may
seem,
some people get the kicks
stepping on a dream.
But I don't ever let it get me down.
Cause this fine old world keeps spinning round.
I've been a puppet, a popper, a pirate, a poet,
a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down, over and out.
But I know one thing.
Each time I find myself flat on my face,
I pick myself up
and I get back in the race.
That's life.
I tell you I can't deny it.
Sometimes I've thought of quitting,
but my, my heart just won't buy it.
And if I didn't think it was worth a single try,
I'd jump right on a big bird and fly.
I've been a puppet, a popper, a pirate, a poet,
a pawn and a king.
I've been up and down,
over and out.
But I know one thing.
Each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I pick myself up
and I get back in the race.
That's life.
That's life and I can't deny it.
Each time I've thought of quitting,
baby,
my heart won't buy it.
But if there's nothing shaking come July,
I'm gonna jump right on a big bird.
I'm gonna jump on a big bird.
And I'm gonna fly.
