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 their tune, when I'm right back on top in June. 

That's life, funny as it seems.  Some people get their kicks, steppin' on dreams but I just can't let it 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 king. I've been up and down and over and out but 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. 

Cause if I didn't think it was worth a try, I'd have to roll myself up in a big ball and die.
