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 dreams;
But I don´t let it get me down,
´Cause this ol´ word keeps getting 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 can´t deny it,
I thought of quitting,
But my heart just won´t buy it.
If I didn´t think it was worth a try,
I´d roll myself up in a big ball and die
