lyrics

[Verse]
That's life, that's what all the 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, back on top in June

[Verse]
I said, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks, stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinning around

[Chorus]
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, and I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

[Verse]
That's life, I tell ya, I can't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my heart ain't gonna buy it
But if I thought it wasn't worth a try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

[Chorus]
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 laying flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

[Outro]
That's life, I can't deny it
I've thought of quitting, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
So sister, mother, brothers and all dear friends
i just thank God for the present
That's life
That's life
