Dennis van Aarssen - That's Life

That's life
You know, that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, you’re shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top in June

I say that's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
From stomping on your dreams
But I don't let it, let it get me down
Because this fine old world, it 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
And I know one thing

Each time I find myself
Laying flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
I tell you, I can't deny it
So many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won’t buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth just one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

‘Cause 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 layin'
Flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
That's life and I can't deny it
So many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart, it just ain’t gonna buy it

And if there's nothing shaking, come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up
In a big ball and die
My, my
