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
