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
